I'm not talking about religions, I was referring to evidence for gods. No Dolphinetics, please.
It doesn't matter what you are talking about, your argument assumes if there is proof of God or exactly what type of God he is, humanity would all believe in that God and there would be no Atheists. But for such structure of an argument to be true, humanity needs to be sincere towards proofs that they are honest enough to accept them when presented with such proofs. The fact that humanity follows false religions even though there is proofs many of them are false, suggests, this is not the case. So your argument would be special pleading regardless if you are talking about religions or not.
