I don't disagree that I don't have more access to information than an atheist has. But the set of axioms by which I view the world is more coherent than that of an atheist, this is the only difference
Which axioms would those be, for you and the atheist?

I'm afraid it doesn't. Kindly review what the Euthyphro dilemma says. I also remind you that I am arguing from my own religious POV, i.e. I believe in a revealed theology, that a sacred book contains God's instructions verbatim. Not a natural theology where I infer God's properties and morality from my own observations and biases.
That means squat concerning the Euthyphro dilemma. Apparently, you need to review what Euthyphro says.

Okay. Give us an alternative solution to hard solipsism. I'll go grab a popcorn.
I don't have any obligation to do so. Do you think that I do?

ROFL!
"I can read me a book and that has it written there ars other minds.... "
ROFL!
Can't make this sheet up.
ROFL all you want. Where is your argument in favor of other minds ?
i. I have a mind;
ii. I have physical attributes;
iii. Physical attributes appear to determine phenomenon;
iv. Other people have the same physical attributes as me;
v. My mind is a phenomenon;
Therefore, other people likely have the same phenomenon, a mind.
I don't even know that it's a particularly good argument, but:
a) It's certainly plausible;
b) I have no necessity to believe in the existence of other minds;
c) It's better than, "I read it in a book."
