Now you mention it, I’m not so sure it is a coherent belief in its own right to be honest…
Shall we try it with unicorns? Unicorn believer says they saw a unicorn.
Athiest viewpoint is ok, but to convince me they exist I’d need to see one in the flesh or at the very least a full anatomical breakdown of how their magical properties work with corroboration from other unicorn enthusiasts.
I would say “there’s no point in arguing about it if neither of you can prove your position. If it is unprovable then I don’t care if unicorns exist or not. Maybe they do, maybe they don’t. It doesn’t affect me. I won’t waste mental bandwidth thinking about it or discussing it further.”

Agnostics say what exactly?
As someone who leans agnostic, I would say this is a strawman argument. Unicorns and religions/gods are not related.
How does one “lean” agnostic?
“I’m marginally convinced there might be a god.”
It’s not a straw man argument, I’ll let you pick any imaginary creature you please.

Mind if I take some of your income to fund my unicorn sanctuary instead of improving tangible public services?
You’re already taking some to find out if japanese quail become more promiscuous under the influence of cocaine, this wouldn’t be too different tbh.
