An interesting thought about belief in God vs Atheism

I am a very big fan of a Youtube Channel called Vsauce. Today they released a very educational video about money. At the very end he talks about how a piece of paper only has value if everyone "believes" it has value. He goes on to say that there are things in life that only exists when one believes it to exist. This of course made me think of the debate about Atheism and Christianity. Sure enough there was a comment by user ProfessorBorax that read,

"Just like god I guess, wouldn't exist if nobody knew about him"

And then a follow up by user VilnisVaisla that read,

"everybody knows about god , and he doesn't exist....."

So I couldn't resist. I had to blow them out of the water by throwing in their face:

"You need to 'learn' about God, but even if you were the only person on earth, you could intuitively understand how creation is the result of intelligent design. You have to be taught, aka 'learn' that there is no creator and that it is all here by random chance. What's more ironic is that you have to 'believe' the unproven theories of fallible human beings in order to accept this."


Here is the video:
