First your chart is a logical fallacy and is an example of a False Dilemma. First it presumes their are only 2 choices Christianity or Atheism, as well another implied premise is that all schools of thought in Christianity are equally incorrect. Further the embedded fallacy is that the implied argument, that atheism is a simpler explanation is circular in that it presumes itself to be true and then uses that presumption to support its own premise. To demonstrate the falsity of such an argument one need only point out one alternative to the falsely limited choices e.g., Buddhism as a spiritual system which is not related to Christianity. It is further a false argument because the presumption is made in the implied argument that the dogma of Christianity is the same as the fundamental world view and that presumption is also false. Like most arguments presented by frothing atheists you rely upon false logic, presumption, circular arguments, and outright dishonesty to further your personal OPINION. As well Occam's Razor is itself a cop-out as the way it is most commonly used, as it is here, is to exclude the other viewpoint. All in all a nice graphic with ZERO truth value.

Yep.
I think you're reading way to much into it, professor. What I see represented by the graph are two contrasting belief systems: One where gods, demons and spirits reside, and one based upon rational objectivity and observation. It's really not that complicated.
