If I'm presented with a chicken that is widely understood to be a god, and I don't see evidence of its divinity, I'm still an atheist towards that chicken.
MCU Thor is the chicken
The point is that Thor from the movies sufficiently proves to you that he is a God. You not believing in a magical chicken is the same as you not believing in a magical Jesus.
That is not what we're taking about. With Thor we're taking about a God, that sufficiently proves to you that he is in fact a God, so you at that point claiming to still be an atheist towards Thor wouid make you the unreasonable one.
He's a god in the same way Superman is. Maybe even a little less god-like tbh.
Maybe my expectations of godhood are a little high? I'm thinking about the omni-stuff ya know, and Thor is both mortal, and very limited in power.
MCU Thor just isn't godlike, he's super fucking powerful, but a god is a few levels above that imo.
And if he's a god because he's labelled a god, then we're back to the chicken. The chicken is also labelled a god
