And here is the impasse because the theist will argue the same for those holding an atheistic perspective.  There was another thread on here (trying to find it) about how people became an atheist and the vast majority was because of the church or the indoctrination, etc mostly emotion based reasons.  Our emotional preference has no bearing on what is true and real.

That is the tu quoque fallacy. Asserting atheists are making the same mistake as you is not a defence of your position.

As for atheism, it's pretty simple, for me at least. There is barely a coherent definition, and there is zero credible evidence. I can be nothing other than unconvinced. Nothing to do with emotion, any more than disbelief in the tooth fairy. I can double down on it not being emotional, because I don't actually care either way. I'd make no changes to the way I live if any God was found to be real.

Every theistic argument I've ever seen contains at least one logical fallacy.
