I suspect you’re making more implicit assumptions than you realize.

Also your snarky, facile dismissal of religion makes the idea of constructive engagement with you seem unlikely.

I think you missed the point.

Please tell me where there was snark or dismissal of religion?

Talk about missing the point.

Do you believe “invisible man in the sky” is an accurate representation of of the beliefs of billions of people?

I read that as snarky. Maybe I am too cynical.

'invisible man in the sky'

It's useful because it's an abstract term that can apply to the majority of religions.

No need to label God or Allah or Shiva or Jehova or Zeus or whatever.

Saying 'higher power' or 'cosmic force' is not descriptive as there's also include things people don't worship like astronomy.

Almost all monotheistic organized religions have worshipped an invisible man in the sky and most poly theistic as well.

At least from my perspective, it's the standard reddit atheist dismissal/thought terminating cliche.

Certainly does correlate with a disdain of religion in my experience.
