Other protection schemes put in place to protect God:
Claiming that God is "immaterial" and outside the categories, boundaries of time and space (so that He can never be detected), incomprehensible to our limited human minds (so why even bother trying to detect God).
How could I be expected to worship an incomprehensible, immaterial God ? God "sees" us and "hears" our prayers, so God must have eyes and ears. But if God is immaterial, how can this be ?
Also threats of violence of various types are used in many places to keep nonbelievers silent. Believers also may claim that God works through people. Thits seems to imply that God cannot act on His own
There are over 1.1 billion to 1.3 billion atheists, agnostics, and those with no specific religious identity on the planet today according to AI. Not to mention all the people who have other faith traditions. Christianity has been a thing for almost 2,000 years now. Why are there still so many nonbelievers ? God has had plenty of time to convert people to Christianity. Why hasn't He done it ?
Why is it that the more you know, the less likely you are to "believe" ? If God exists, shouldn't it be exactly the opposite ?
