    How could the existence of a god be the basis for an argument for Atheism? Atheism conceptually requires that no god exists.

    That being said the headline is dumb because from what I can gather the premise of the movie is that god is real but it’s not the one that anyone in the modern world is worshipping, so it would be equal in nightmare across theists and atheists alike

      It works like this:

      1. Assume for the sake of argument that the deity exists.
      2. Examine the horrific, implausible, and logically absurd implications of that existence.
      3. Use those as evidence that the deity doesn’t actually exist.
