Christians are basically atheists?

I would say rolling the dice on your eternal salvation is a bad bet.

Reason would dictate that if God is real, then there is only one God or the highest. Being a living God, then the power to make himself known resides with him, regardless the investigations or conclusions of man. So despite our efforts to find him, in the end it is he who finds us if we are to be found, and for us to say with confidence that God lives. Parroting scriptures which testify of God is only to repeat what another has said, which isn't the same as knowing for ones own self. Otherwise one could say he knows there is no God because someone else said there is no God first. Or that God is indeed a flying spaghetti monster because that's what Mark from the Asylum said. The glaring problem with the one God away posit of Atheists is that it leaves the question unanswered. Seeing that a question requires an answer. Then no answer is as wrong as a multitude of wrong answers. That is unless you are saying that you don't know the answer, which isn't the Atheist position. Atheists say there is no God at all. But unless they know all things, they can't say with any confidence that there is no God in the mix. The best they can say is that they know of no God. On the other hand, to say that God lives, one only needs to know that one thing. And that requires the intercession of a living God to make his existence known. So in owing to the ignorance of man, the existence of God is more likely than not.

Why is it so easy to miss the many great takeaways from the one-god-further statement. The first is to show that we actually agree about most other gods and religions in the world. We just disagree on your claimed God. The second is to ask what reasons you and I give for disbelieving the other god claims, and showing those are almost the exact same reasons myself and those who believe in the other gods give for not believing your god claim, pointing out where we think you are inconsistent. The third is a statistical statement. Out of all the other people that believe all these other gods, it’s highly arrogant and improbable to think everyone else got it wrong but you got it right. The married bachelor is not a good analogy for a myriad of reasons.
