You avoid the crux of Maher's criticism of organized religion (he's not really an atheist, he says, simply, "I just don't know"): the burden of proof is on the religionists to prove that their thousands years old desert religions hold up to the scrutiny of what we now know to be true--Maher scores countless points, scoring at will, at the pure lunacy of a lot of modern religions created so many years ago. I want thereto be a God, but nowadays, you have to prove it, don't you think? The burden is on those with faith and making claims in the name of that faith. Jesus? Tons of problems with the story.
