There is no trick here. Any atheist philosopher would admit this. This puts you right back at the beginning of your question 1.
Yes if any entity with appropriately made up characteristics actually existed, then it would be the best explanation.
But I for one would expect some considerable proof, Here we have a mighty ruler of the whole universe, that created us to be in communion with and worship him, to know his blessing and wants everyone to be saved.
and the proof for it's existence ...... 'hears crickets'
Instead we have god(s) that are remarkably good at looking like they never existed or ever will, who is defined in such a way that non existence is exactly the same as existing. Anyone can define into existence an unfalsifiable entity, the problem being that that's all we have ..definitions.
