Islam and Judaism and Christianity have some major differences, but line them up side by side and then, compared to atheism, they may as well be identical.
Okay, what if I asked you to recite 10 lines from the illiad, or the ancient religious teachings of Egypt? You are but evading the subject. The fact is that the words of the bible hold as much weight as the words of a fantasy novel.
Also, comparing three religions to atheism and saying they're all the same is as sensible as comparing an apple, a mushroom, and a zucchini to a domino and saying the apple, mushroom and zucchini are all the same.
¨I contend that we are both atheists, I just believe in one fewer god than you. When you understand why you dismiss all other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.¨
