Really no different than a toddler defending their dad. If their dad is bigger than you, why would it need your help to defend it?
What theists are really subconsciously defending, isn't a factually provable being, what they are defending is their own ego. Nobody likes to think they got it wrong.
It makes no sense to claim "all powerful" only to get between it and someone who doesn't buy the logic. What would an allegedly all powerful being need with a marketing department or body guards?
Yup.
The founders were for freedom of religion, but all of them understood to do that, you did not conduct pulpit politics.
