Theists are the ones that invoke magic and give no method or evidence to back up their assertion that it must have been not only some sort of god, but the one that hates gays and, for some reason, eating bacon.
More rational people tend to think it must have been a natural event of some kind, rather than some hyper improbable magic man that not only has no proof of its existence but has zero explanatory power.

Well you are saying that a magic thing that exists outside of space and time but is somehow super smart somehow created everything and is the same super intelligent being that 13 billion years later told people not to have tattoos and keep your women folk in separate buildings until they finished having periods.
Whereas we think that it sounds unconvincing and the universe was probably caused by something else.
So if you don't want me to think you are irrational it would probably be better to not say irrational things.

Lots of things were "written in stone" according to your favourite fiction. The ten commandments for one.
Beyond that I really don't understand your point.
But then you are getting notorious for not really explaining things even when asked multiple times to explain. Its Brexit means Brexit all over again.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
