(You stated that you see no reason to start; what's that reason then?)
On the side note: "One less god?" I'm sorry but are we talking about the same atheist term? I thought (correct me if so) Atheist believe in (no) god for the lack of evidence for such a deity? In saying that, I can't be an "almost atheist" because I do believe in one and deny the others because they're false. (Well, that's my belief and I can understand you might find that silly, stupid, bigotted, ignorant etc etc)
Oh boy. Okay.

No, it does matter. The fact that you don't believe in Allah is, for some atheists, proof that there's no reason for them to believe in Yahweh. What's so unreasonable about Greek mythology compared to Christianity or Islam that it's branded "mythology"? The fact that there are other beliefs, each with about as much proof as yours, deters many from believing because it opens the mind to the question: "Wait, what makes one religion correct and the others incorrect?"

There's the point. How do you know that they're false? Religion is irrational for these reasons and more.
