Then you'll be glad to post the foolproof criteria by which we atheists can judge the claims of the various people in the world who claim to be Christians.

It will be a distinct relief to have these criteria, as till now, in the absence of any such, I have simply had to take people at their word on this matter.

"Actually believing in Jesus" is not a good criterion, I think, because we'd require telepathy to determine whether or not someone actually believes in Jesus.

Yes you are according to Romans. According to Romans Christians were atheists becuase they refused to believe in other gods. :devil3:
