Can you pair some "forms" of theism and atheism, as an example for your above claim?
"rational"based on or in accordance with reason or logic.

A Cup of Skepticism wrote: I don't see why God or the origin of the universe must be more complex than the universe to create and control it. When I think of complexity, I think of parts. Physical and non-physical objects can be complex (non-physical examples are numbers, words or ideas). So what makes something complex is nothing physical, but the number of parts it has
Unfortunately, photons and electrons haven't studied philosophy. They don't respond to "words" or "ideas". For "God" to manipulate every individual photon and electron "God" would need to

* obtain physical information about the current status of every individual photon using an additional physical device,

* have the computing capacity to construct a "command" for every physical photon and electron

* issue a physical activity to change the status of each individual photon or electron in addition to each photon and electron.

A "God" would need to be many factors, more complex than the actual universe.
