LOL. I'm surprised you're surprised. The only logical outcome of thinking about religion is atheism
Not necessarily.
Yes, necessarily.
No. I will agree with the assertion that the only justifiable outcome of thinking about religion in accord with the principles of logical argument is (genuine) agnosticism, i.e., by applying such methods it is genuinely impossible to determine whether or not God exists to a logical certainty.
Is the logical outcome of thinking about geometry Euclidean or non-Euclidean geometry?
Both.
Exactly. One must determine by actual observation whether the sum of the angles of a triangle is less than, equal to, or greater than 180� in order to determine what kind of space one is in. Similarly, one must determine whether God exists or does not exist to determine if reality is theistic or atheistic. Otherwise, it is impossible to distinguish between the two possibilities by simple logical argument alone.
