    This isn’t equivalent.

    This person believes in a god that is evil or malevolent.

    Atheists argue that there is no god that is either good or evil

    I don’t believe there is a good god nor do I believe there is a bad god … or a child god, or an intelligent god or a dumb god.

    I just don’t believe there is any god

    When it comes to the range of theistic possibilities, the popular and historic religions of humanity only occupy a tiny section. Far greater are the theistic suppositions considered in philosophy (or not yet considered) in which God is indifferent to or even opposed to the affairs on earth, whether the conflict between Palestine and Israel or the countless wars between and ant and termite hives.
