Of all the logical arguments presented it seems an atheists only response is to close their eyes like the logic really isn't there.
So would it be better to just choose a religion even if we find they're all false? You're assuming that the reason atheists are atheists is because we haven't put any thought in the matter. Does this come from the fact that you can't possibly imagine someone looking at your religion with an open mind and coming to the conclusion that it's all a bunch of nonsense?

I'm an atheist because I have come to the conclusion that all religions are man made. I'm not sure where you guys are getting this 'default position' stuff from.
