One notes that historically (and probably currently), some of the smartest and most well funded humans all over the planet have spent their careers preventing one or more deities from killing us all. And yet I find myself an atheist.
That pithy analogy makes no sense. Nobody in history has ever been actively working on creating a deity with measurable progress. Say what you mean - do you believe it is physically impossible to create a superhuman AGI? If so, how do you argue that our physical brains can't be replicated or surpassed by metal without asserting the existence of some metaphysical soul that makes us possible?
