I think my argument for the inevitability of atheism is more plausible than the one for the inevitability of theism.

And regarding the point of reading liberal Christians like Foster, I remember how I used to read Tom Harpur, an Oxford graduate and former religion columnist for the Toronto Star. He used to write exactly the same kind of articles you find at Backyard Church, preaching the "real God and Jesus" from a liberal standpoint, and repudiating fundamentalism and the conservative appropriations. As he got older, Harpur became more and more "liberal" and virtually secular until he published "The Pagan Christ," a book which jumped the shark in advocating the Christ myth theory. His liberal Christianity took him all the way to a mushy mysticism that was indistinguishable from atheism. And that's where I see the Backyard Church going.

I can see, then, why reading those liberal Christians might be amusing, to watch the slide into virtual atheism. I also check in now and again to see if they broach the topic of atheism, but they seldom do so now. They have their hands full dealing with fundamentalism and exoteric, conservative Christian cults like Trumpism.
