Well Epicurus clearly isn’t a Christian based on the time he was alive. Which is why drag said he wouldn’t talk like a monotheist. But you said drag was wrong, because Judaism existed. The only reason that’s a counterargument is if Epicurus was Jewish. If he wasn’t, then there’s no point to saying Judaism already existed, Epicurus wouldn’t have talked about the gods like a Jew would. He was a Hellenist.
I’m not a christian or a monotheist of any kind either, and yet I can talk about their god in this exact way. My argument to you was Epicurus’s religion is irrelevant, and so is his predating Jesus.
What? How do you get that from what I wrote?

Polytheists don’t talk like that.
I mean, thst is demonstrably incorrect, but ok.
