[Family Guy] how is brian still an atheist?

in the family guy universe, god is an actual being that EXISTS, as he's made an appearence several times.

most notably, the literal JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF lived with the griffins for a few weeks. this was a canon storyline and not a cutaway gag. brian was there, he met jesus. we also see chronos, a greek god, appear in an episode as a cameo, although brian was absent for his presence.

Brian's an *entirely* superficial man.

He's not an atheist because of any logical argument against faith or impassioned defence of scientific materialism. No, he's an atheist because he *desperately* wants to be seen as an Educated Liberal Smart Man, and Educated Liberal Smart Men are atheists.

Ultimately, he'd literally rather face eternal damnation then risk the disdain of his peers- his atheism isn't a philosophical stance, it's a fashion statement. To quote the side he so desperately wants to be on, you can't reason your way out of a position you didn't reason yourself into.
