No. He already did & that didn't.

Yes but that doesn't address the atheist stance that there is no god. If God were known to exist it wouldn't be God. The Christian belief in God requires faith and specifically not verifiable proof. The devil believes in God but is anti God.

Indeed.

There are some (I am not one) that do not consider budhism a religion, or as still a part of hinduism for that very reason.
Surely you can never get away with such blatant opposition to such a literal term - a-theism - without-theism or theism=belief-in-a-deity
