I had to engage with the Roberts quote because it made me think. I think he's making a false equivalency. A jump from believing in one god to two gods seems much less significant than a jump from zero to one. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_One_Infinity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_One_Infinity) Further, I'm not sure that Roberts understands why the religious reject other gods. Like most things people do, there are a variety of reasons: - Both Judaism and Islam have explicit commandments or statements of faith that reject other gods - Suspicious of foreigners? Deride their religion as unreasonable and obviously contrafactual - Wary of talk of the divine being used as justification for a mortal power play? (And you should be) Add a bias for rejection into your calculations - And of course, extraordinary claims and extraordinary evidence
