Not really. If we can see God, we won't treat Him as God. If we can not see God, nothing would be clearly shown.
The effect of God is manifested by people. Unfortunately, there are many strange behaviors performed by all kinds of people. And perhaps, there are also all kinds of gods. In Christian, we called them angels. So it is hard to have any consensus on which behavior is really "better".
So, the criteria will never be simple. Too bad.
I admit his grammar is poor, but if we take his statement as meaning "There's no reason other than personal preference to teach Christianity rather than Hinduism" How is this false?
For atheist, it is true.
For people who has faith to any god, it is obviously not true. There are tons of reasons.
What's the difference of the Effects of God manifested by people vs the effects of people doing good on their own ?
For atheist, there is no short-term difference. But, in many cases, there are obvious long-term consequences.
For theist, there are tons of differences.
But doesn't the Hindu feel his or her religion is as true to them as yours is to you? Does one think that when a Hindu wishes to teach Vedic "science" in the schools that they have just as much reason for it as a Christian who wishes to teach "creation 'science'"?
This is among the fundamental questions of this debate. Would American fundamentalists be "OK" if, instead of Christian Creation being taught to their kids any other faith's creation stories be taught as viable alternatives?
If not, why not?

Tell that to all the aborted babies, and see if they agree.If an atheist treats a fellow human well, you can be sure it's because they knew it was the right thing to do without having to read it in the Bible somewhere.

Oh, that's right --- they don't count as "a fellow human".

I dunno --- do they?and Christians never have abortions ?
Assuming you meant What, and not Why, I'd say he didn't read (and heed) the Bible.If an atheist treats a fellow human well, you can be sure it's because they knew it was the right thing to do without having to read it in the Bible somewhere.Tell that to all the aborted babies, and see if they agree.At any rate, he said "If an atheist treats a fellow human well". Why are you talking about when an atheist, in your opinion, does not treat a fellow human well?
And your point is what?actually abortion rates are the same among Atheists and Christians...
