I suspect the "it" is not the question of god-or-not-god, but rather the
tribal culture of religion. Gods are simply mascots for the different
religions.
>I don't got it.
Sure you do. You simply use the Skeptical model for picking the "us" in the
us/them relationship so very important for all religions or tribes. And
you're as sure that your tribe is right as any religions zealot I've ever
met.
(And even more xenophobic than they, I dare say!)
