Some atheists will try to make their worldview appealing to a Christian by claiming that they just believe in one less god than the Christian. The atheist is right that the Christian is an atheist with respect to many other religions that don't respect Jesus Christ as the true God. However, there is a wide gulf between the denial of any supernatural being at all and Christianity. However, the atheist offers a challenge to the Christian by forcing the Christian to justify the position of denying so many so-called pagan cults, and clinging to belief in Jesus Christ. Is belief in Jesus Christ a mere arbitrary shot in the dark about a metaphysical matter about which our cognitive limits do not permit us to make an definite claims? Is our Christianity a mere social fad with no deeper roots than the pagan cults the Christian rejects? The atheist's challenge forces the Christian to prove that her faith is more reasonable than all the many faiths she rejects.
