The logic is, unless your religion has an actual basis in reality, you don't have any more claim to being more well reasoned than any other. Without this, any (and none) are on equal footing. If you believe just because you believe in something but you don't have any particular reason to believe in your one, odds are you're wrong.

It confronts people who claim they believe the true god(s) to say why they're correct over the infinitely many others that could exist.

This is largely the thing that led me on my path towards atheism. I had a Buddhist friend in middle/high school, which led to me having an interest in other religions. Once you recognize all of them have equal reasons for their belief, it makes it hard to believe you happened to just be born into the one that's real.
