I get your point, but to be honest I do think its important to draw a clear distinction between deism, theism, and especially structured religion — some people conflate these without understanding the differences, especially the philosophical ones as well. That said, I do agree there are legitimate logical arguments against the existence of God (like the problem of evil or the incoherence of divine attributes). But the same should apply to arguments for Gods existence and dismissing them just because they support theism often reflects pseudo-intellectualism rather than actual critical thinking, which you emphasised well. Also relying solely on reason or logic as the final arbiter for metaphysical questions is itself a philosophical position, not an absolute standard in a sense. That deserves scrutiny too. Now on another note, I noticed in your video about ex-Muslims and misogyny that you used moral arguments to demonstrate how they critique religion. Personally I don’t find those arguments convincing as a disproof of Gods existence. For example, saying “misogyny is wrong because its unjust, and a just God wouldn’t be misogynistic” assumes and presupposes a particular definition of justice and that being one that might not be shared or justified outside a specific moral framework. If one assumes that God is the source of objective morality then by definition, whatever god commands is moral, even if it clashes with modern ethical intuitions. So moral critiques of religion often presuppose the very moral standard they’re trying to prove, which makes the argument circular. I think this is a critical nuance thought thats often missing in these conversations
