Does the following Christian philosophy make sense to most atheists?

I doubt it makes sense to any atheists, let alone most, because it just doesn’t make sense. I assume you are trying to set out a logical argument with premises and a conclusion .I recommend you read ‘Logic ‘ by Wilfred Hodges to help you understand how logic works. In essence you are making the mistake of confusing concept with existence – just because you can think of something doesn’t mean it exists, that’s one of the wonders of the human mind – we can make things up. God is just one of the many things humans have invented.

This is a modified form of the ontological proof o the existence of god. It does not work. Yes I nave a ‘concept’ of god just like I have a concept of Harry Potter. So Harry Potter must exist. The definition of god for an atheist is by definition that which does not exist. So in direct answer to your question – No Christian philosophy does not make any sense to me. Indeed it is just nonsense.

That is a very clever use of philosophy With out belief we would have anarchy no one would have any morals religion is mostly conditioning to behave we have 2 motivations the prospect of reward and fear of punishment both in life and beyond the grave do not worry about god worry what you FEEL

2 is a supposition. You can’t logically follow from that type of supposition. 4 is a supposition. You cannot create a valid argument based on a supposition. Let alone two suppositions. So, no, it doesn’t make sense.
