I think that if people spent any time around neo pagans they'd realize that their arguments against christer god are categorically inapplicable. The problems and dilemmas that face the abrahamic god concept are unique to it. Pagans can lean in on those problems and dilemmas as the the proper function of the divine universe...and aren't we silly people for ever imagining otherwise?
First cause? Nah. Pagan gods can be caused, themselves.
Natural law? Gods are natural as well, and subject to those laws.
Design? Why should a god have to design or create to be a god?
Moral arguments?...hold my beer while pagan gods shit on human morals, for fun.
The argument for the remedying of injustice...? Why would a pagan god have to give a shit about justice for mortal ants? See above.
-on and on it goes.
The arguments against a christian belief cannot be leveraged, even in general principle, against pagan gods. Christian belief is not general, or unspecific.
