But lets examine the OP.
We are God, the same way as everything around us is. If everything is god, then the concept of God has become meaningless. It’s a sort of pantheism taken to its extreme. It dilutes god to nothing but a feel good vibe, it is atheism without conviction.
Everything is one. We are all God, in different forms, and the fact that we are separated is an illusion Again, same as before.

Both of these ideas can be discussed entirely in a theological capacity. It was theologists who came up with them, not atheists. Christian thinkers specifically have written about these ideas for hundreds of years. If you want to argue against this, then I suggest pointing out some arguments you have problems with. Maybe start with Descartes, or, at least, expand on what you mean exactly; otherwise, your "'everything' = meaninglessness" argument means little.

The religion of christianity is taught the wrong way Obviously the original post had no problem comparing religions. His system/belief is superior to the way Christianity is taught.
So really I can’t think of a way to discuss it without bringing up atheism, or the virtues of one religion over another.

Christianity can be compared internally as well. Of course Christianity is taught wrong; it is taught in a multitude of ways. Not all of them are palatable.
