when tested, magic has consistently been shown to not exist.

Followed by:

There is no such evidence to suggest that there can’t be a creator deity.

Uh, OK.

On top of that, most parents will admit that they made the tooth fairy up.

Yes, made up. Just like deities made up in more ignorant times.

Are you seriously arguing in good faith that “god” exists as anything more than a mass delusion? And you think not believing that is “edgy”? If so, I really think we’re done.

No! I’m saying that making a truth claim without evidence is necessarily irrational! I literally said that I don’t believe it. There is a difference between not believing something and believing not something.

I think that centering your online persona around your lack of belief while making comments about how delusional someone must be to be religious is what’s edgy.
