I agree that the analysis is pretty superficial and ignores the fact that religion is mostly a social phenomenon where dynamics like ‘belief in belief’ dominate. I also agree that religious people would be unconvinced that the argument was valid.
I mainly wrote the post because the argument seemed potentially nontrivial and I’m trying to learn to write (this is my first post). I guess this one was probably too superficial/confused to be worthwhile, so I’ll try to improve on that in any future posts.
Thanks for the feedback!
