Deception cannot do anything to something that never existed!
The only way primitive religion exists today is through the child abuse of forcing it into very, very young children but thanks to better education and growing intellects so many teens are able to discover the truth, throw off the indoctrination and step into the real world!
Atheism is not a conscious decision or a belief but a realization, those that cannot escape remain prisoners of their conditioning!
The first person to produce a single tiny little piece of verifiable evidence for any god will become world famous and mega rich!
Academia states that in the absence of any sort of evidence of the existence of something it must be deemed not to exist until verifiable evidence is found - thus god is held not to exist pending some sort of verifiable evidence.
The bible is what is called "Faction” A fictional story set in a factual time and place. Thus the time, place and real historical characters are all correct but the fictional characters and stories are not!
There is not one single mention of Jesus in the entire Roman record - that is right - not one! At the same time as he was supposed to have been around there were a number of Jews claiming to be the messiah - all of whom are well recorded!
There is not a single contemporary record from any source and even the bible mentions of him like all other references were not written until many years after his supposed death!
He was supposed to have been a huge problem to the Romans and produced wonderful miracles but still not one contemporary record?
Even the bible mentions of him like all other references were not written until many years after his supposed death!
Pilate is recorded in the Roman record as a somewhat lack luster man but no mention of a Jesus, a trial or crucifixion that would surely have been used to make him look brighter!
At best he was an amalgam of those others but almost certainly never existed!
Not one word of it is contemporary with the period and was not written until several hundred years after the period the story is set in!! How did the apostles write their books more than a hundred years after they would have been dead?
Christianity is an invention of the Italians and that is why it came from the Holy ROMAN Catholic church!
Please realize that those claims for the Old historians are worthless since they were not even born until long after everyone in the stories would have been so long dead!
Josephus AD 37 – AD 100
Tacitus AD 56 – AD 120
Suetonius - 69 – 130 AD
Pliny the Younger, 61 AD – 112 AD
Justin Martyr (Saint Justin) AD103–165 AD
Lucian - AD 120 -180 AD but he was hostile to Christianity and openly mocked it.
Pamphilius AD 240-309 AD
Eusebius AD 263 – 339 AD
Photius AD 877 – 886 AD
Thallus - But there are no actual record of him except a fragment of writing which mentions the sack of Troy [109 BC] Showing that he was clearly not alive in biblical times.
Some even try to use Seneca. 4 BCE – 65 CE but as a Stoic Philosopher he opposed religion yet made not a single mention of a Jesus or Christianity!
Even funnier is trying to claim Celsus AD ? – 177 AD Who said that Jesus was a Jew who’se mother was a poor Jewish girl whose husband, who was a carpenter, drove her away because of her adultery with a Roman soldier named Panthera. She gave birth to an illegitimate child named Jesus. In Egypt, Jesus became learned in sorcery and upon his return presented himself as a god.
An ancient set of lead tablets found in Jordan in 2008 showing the earliest portrait of Jesus Christ have proved to be 2,000 years old and say that Jesus and the disciples tried to recreate a religion from the time of King David!
Research shows education reduces religious belief but each year of education more than the basic reduces it by 10%!

That's not an inquiry. That's a command.
And inquiry would be something along the lines of
"What are the more successful exploits which are used by enemies, to deceive people about God and Jesus Christ?"
An even BETTER question, if it can actually BE answered, would be
"What testable, repeatable EVIDENCE can we show people, so as to prevent them from being deceived about God and Jesus Christ?"
If you claim that Risen Jesus does exist, and has the power to affect the physical world, set up a demonstration.
I make a claim that pouring vinegar onto baking soda produces bubbles of carbon dioxide.
Every time.
The results are instantly visible and rigorously testable.
And it make no difference if the vinegar is poured by a morally upright person, a totally corrupt person, a machine, or an animal trying to retrieve a bit of food under the board the vinegar jar sits on.
If a prayer to God makes the bubbles HYDROGEN, same way every time, and a prayer to Jesus makes the bubbles OXYGEN every time, then the enemies will have a VERY difficult time trying to insist that neither God nor Jesus have any real Powers!
I do wish there was a kinder, gentler way to ask Believers to put up or shut up.

Sunday school teachers, they exploit your gullibility and convince you that magic is real.
Pay better attention in real school
