Your proposition in itself is already severely flawed.
Your assumption of "religion equals God" is too narrow, while religion is a broader concept which does contain for instance monotheism, polytheism, but also atheism.
This flaw also points at a severly narrow mindedness of you yourself, Prover. Your purpose shows this as well:

To (a) share my spiritual experiences, (b) learn in an open-minded environment, (c) practice my evangelicalism.

A priori, practicising evangelicalism and learning in an open-minded environment exclude eachother. This observation is beautifully exemplified by:
Quote:

Figures, atheists run out of the foxhole when things get serious.

My observation is that you are the one who is narrow-minded, arrogant and tries to persuade people in a way that will only bring the opposite result. If you wish to accomplish an open debate, if you wish to have a sound critical discussion: start opening yourself up. I wish you good luck.
