I think Trent Horn is not the target audience of the book “A Manual for Creating Atheists”. Trent Horn’s expertise and level of knowledge both religion and specifically the debate about the existence of a monotheistic deity are clearly very advanced. The purpose of the book he is reviewing is to introduce new atheists, and help others introduce new atheists, to a survey of ideas and positions that the average person has not been introduced to.
Very often this review attacks the author for not including an argument, or including an incomplete argument. That is an editorial decision based on the target audience. Even if Trent Horn was more well read and articulate then Peter Boghossian, that itself is no proof that Trent Horn’s view is correct. Smart people hold incorrect beliefs, opinions and conclusions often.
