You don't really understand. Intelligence, consciousness and agency are all natural phenomena. God is supernatural, those properties don't really apply. They're comfortable shorthand for us to grab onto, but they don't actually explain the behavior or nature of God.

There are a lot of different concepts of God. I'm not arguing for one in particular, certainly not the Judeo-Christian one, although I will admit I've referenced Christian philosophy. But that's just my point. Almost all religions have a certain amount of philosophical justification for their representations of the supernatural. Atheism denies the supernatural completely. I'm asking for a justification: everyone else has one. You can argue that Hinduism has a shitty grasp of the nature of reality (and I would agree), but at least it proposes something more than a blind assertion of contrarianism.

Thanks for the answer. This sounds more like agnosticism though. Is there any explanation from the perspective of hard atheism?
