Atheists and Agnostics risk infinite loss for no gain

That's right, we recognize that it's an argument ad baculum (believe or else) that has no bearing on what is actually true.

Well, it's fairly easy to whittle down the candidates. The one that is supposed to have created the earth in six days, stopped the sun, and flooded the earth up to the mountain tops never existed because all the available evidence says those things never happened. The God with the least cognitive dissonance is the God of deism, and no one claims to know if that one does anything with you after you die.
