Any God worth it's salt wouldn't need scare tactics.
It's interesting that I've asked this question of Christian proselytizers more times than I can remember over the past four decades: "If everything that you claim about God and Christianity is so true and so convincing, why do you have to back it up with a threat?" In all that time, I have yet to receive an answer, with the exception of the occasional denial that, "You're going to Hell!" is a threat.
Adult: LOL.... Kid don't play with guns...
Kid: why....
Adult: Because you'll shoot your eye out.
And apparently the atheists resolution to this is: We give the kid the gun, because if it was true, that kids shouldn't be playing with guns, then we wouldn't have to threaten them.
Also, we can't take climate change claims seriously, because they threaten us with the consequences of not doing so. If it was true, they wouldn't need to back it up with a threat.
I don't see how this goes against the OP.

Nope. Just about ANY amount of CREDIBLE evidence is usually sufficient in order to accept a claim as at least a realistic possibility, warranting further investigation. It does scale somewhat with the prior probability, though, so if you want us to believe in magic - you'd better have something better, than some old book of tall tales, written by iron age goat-herders.
I don't find you racism very compelling.
