>why don't you just believe incorrect things
For as cringe as internet atheists are, there's something in my mode of thinking that I've worked in and it reminds me to be actually curious and to look into things even when I'm wrong:
The key difference between an atheist and a believer is that atheists have a limit to their beliefs, you can show them ghosts and magic and they can adjustment. To a believer, a lifetime of lack of evidence doesn't change them. Are these two the same? Are they equal? I'm no atheist or atheist supremacist, but for the purposes of lawmaking and governance, spirituality needs to be shelved. If your mode of thinking doesn't allow you to do that, you shouldn't be in power.
So it's not a topic of opposition, someone can be "on my side" and still have poor reasoning.
