      Also, smaller groups mean more representatives, which means unanimity/consensus as you say would also be unlikely at the national level.

          Sorry to inform you of this, but nations exist whether you want to believe in them or not.

              The difference is, there is evidence for nations existence while there is none for any floating man in the sky who judges you when you die.

                What evidence? There’s no borders on the earth. All of the evidence for nations is the same as evidence for god: stuff people made.

                  And? The stuff people made provides no evidence for God. Only that they revere a being. The systems, power structures and diplomatic missions that people have created point to real, tangible evidence of nations that exist, have motives and can enact meaningful change in the world. God has none of that.

                  Are tables and chairs any less real simply because people created them?

                    Don’t religions have power structures and diplomatic missions?

                    Tables and chairs actually exist in the physical world. They’re objectively real. Countries - like gods - are inter subjectively real.
