Most people on this site were raised in a culture where the dominant religions are monotheistic and thus that's the default most will go to.
I guess. It just rubbed me the wrong way that TC seems to be smugly claiming knowledge and certainty himself whilst accusing others of the same. You're probably right though, that it's just a matter of not being used to other perspectives, but that's where his making a less accusatory opening post would've come in handy.

Even if a being existed who purported to be God, we'd have no reason to take his word for it. He could be lying.
Indeed, especially if it wanted something from us. It would be the "What does God need with a starship?" situation.
