" Another important point in this vein, though, is that Christianity and many other theistic religions are based specifically upon variants of Platonism. These religions see “God” as an extant being, one not always limited to exist within a perfected realm of ideals. Indeed, they give it some metaphysical or “spiritual” reality. I see “God” simply as a variety of abstract concepts. "
