As I said, despite your whining otherwise, lack of education has nothing to do with the issue.
Rather, inaccurate application is more the order of the day.
If one were to use your (I didn't say you created it, dimwit, I said you offered it) formula, everything is suspect.
Apparently the weight of that concept is lost in your scale, but it essentially means your formula is meaningless and therefore ineffectual.

Now you're depicting yourself as a Bayesian analytic?
That everything you have confidence in relies on those principles?
The hits just keep on coming, don't they!

And you know this because you have been told countless times what
atheism is.
So answer your own question.
EDIT: You are doing better at making posts where it's clear what you are
quoting and what your response is... so that's good.
"Hey atheists and anyone else who wants to chat about it, I'm interested in seeing what you would say the core tenets of atheism would be. I found this at infidels and wanted to see how many would agree or what they would add to it:
There are many important ideas atheists promote. The following are just a few of them; don't be surprised to see ideas which are also present in some religions.
* There is more to moral behavior than mindlessly following rules.
* Be especially skeptical of positive claims.
* If you want your life to have some sort of meaning, it's up to you to find it.
* Search for what is true, even if it makes you uncomfortable.
* Make the most of your life, as it's probably the only one you'll have.
* It's no good relying on some external power to change you; you must change yourself.
* Just because something's popular doesn't mean it's good.
* If you must assume something, assume something easy to test.
* Don't believe things just because you want them to be true.
And finally (and most importantly):
* All beliefs should be open to question."

"logicspeak" gives me a headache.
For one thing, I was never good at Boolean operators/operations. Ditto set notation/theory. Now math I am fairly good at, at least until you start talking calculus. But up to that, I'm tolerable. But "logicspeak" may as well be Venusian to me.

Paul Dirac,
Who were you asking about convincing Muslims about Christ against what they already believe? Perhaps, one human can't reason with everyone of them as a group especially if they are ready to kill a person right after hearing a non-Qur'an message. As for individual Muslims, I have not checked into this, but maybe many have changed their minds about Christ and accepted him as Lord and Savior.
Michael Youssef might be someone who has done that. Another may be a friend of someone I know that used to live in South Carolina. Whose to say that many more people have accepted Christ even though they once believed the Qur'an. How many of them could be killed for believing in Christ by other Muslims? We cannot say that those believers in Christ take it lightly.
And I don't understand, yet, why "Swiss Gambit" thinks he cannot make up his own mind about Christ and believe? Does he think that God must do it for him?

Observations: Even Electricity has + and - Polarity;
Human Brain Waves represent electrical activity.
Premise A: Human Beings embrace what they believe to be True
and shun/reject that which they perceive/regard as False.
Premise B: Atheists are Human Beings.
Tentative Conclusion: The statement "Atheists do not have any beliefs
in common. They only share a disbelief." may evidence flawed logic.

Over the years, I've seen a few people with severe brain damage diagnostically determined to have been self induced; their epitaphs may as well read: Born: 1975; Died: 2013; Buried: 2040. Such brain damage isn't always related to indiscriminate use of chemicals; scar tissue from persistent negativity toward divine truth eventual causes Blackout of the Soul as it did with Pharaoh. What justification do you offer for the belief that there is no God, googlefudge?

I said, "Why do you think there are no more prophets?"
There were real prophets at one time. Not any more.
Revelation 11
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
The Two Witnesses
11 Then there was given me a measuring rod like a staff; and someone said, “Get up and measure the temple of God and the altar, and those who worship in it. 2 Leave out the court which is outside the temple and do not measure it, for it has been given to the nations; and they will tread under foot the holy city for forty-two months. 3 And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for twelve hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.” 4 These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth. 5 And if anyone wants to harm them, fire flows out of their mouth and devours their enemies; so if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this way. 6 These have the power to shut up the sky, so that rain will not fall during the days of their prophesying; and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.
7 When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them and kill them. 8 And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which mystically is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified. 9 Those from the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will look at their dead bodies for three and a half days, and [h]will not permit their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb. 10 And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and celebrate; and they will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.
11 But after the three and a half days, the breath of life from God came into them, and they stood on their feet; and great fear fell upon those who were watching them. 12 And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” Then they went up into heaven in the cloud, and their enemies watched them. 13 And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell; seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.
