I like the term Paramatman better than God, but for simplicity sake I
will use the term God
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramatman

let's just say for a minute that something akin to God's influence only
exists within our thoughts, imaginations, and the credence we give them

1) the brain is EXISTENTIAL
2) EVERY part of the brain is EXISTENTIAL
3) thoughts/thinking are PART of the brain
4) thoughts/thinking are EXISTENTIAL
5) things like God are AT LEAST thoughts/thinking
6) things like God are AT LEAST part of the brain
7) things like God are AT LEAST EXISTENTIAL as PART of the brain

I already realize this makes elves, fairies and Santa Claus EXISTENTIAL
too ...

ofcourse you could say a thought or imagination isn't the same as
something outside your head, but does it matter, is the effect the same
to the individual's conscious or even subconscious experiences

let's say we have no other proof of God, or no other proof against God

1) then why besides fear/hope do we say we are theists?

2) and why besides moral relativism does anyone say they are atheists?

I know groups of secular humanism exist, but this term rarely comes up
in our discussion here

why isn't the term agnostic used by those who don't admit to 1,2 ?
