Unless you can prove that Thor emits a similar thing as was going on in that comic, this doesn't help your case. If you cannot prove that, it actually hurts your case as Atlas could not easily KO Superman despite that.

That scan of Thor has nothing to do WHATSOEVER with the topic. The topic was Superman's supposed magical weakness and you vasillating back and forth on the merits of how magic affects superman. When Superman is significantly hurt by or loses to a magical being (or some cases, beings who aren't magical who you claim are like Triumph), you point to magic as the reason Superman lost. At the same time, you often claim that Superman can beat magical character A because he has been shown to overcome magical weakness. It's completely contradictory. Who are you to say which fights he wins and loses with magical characters? You aren't the writer.
Unless someone arguing for Thor can prove that just being around Thor will have the effect people are trying to argue, this is getting off-topic. The fight with Atlas had Superman straight-up saying there was something wrong, and it wasn't Atlas himself. There's several more examples of Superman not being effected in that way against Wonder Woman, Etrigan, Captain Marvel, Black Adam(minimum two fights for each character mentioned) and other, less known examples. He doesn't get effected like that JUST because an opponent is mystical in nature.

No one is arguing that Superman gets weakened by simply being around a magic based character (that is, beside Abby referencing Triumph), it's the attacks that matter. Nice straw man argument. And who gives a damn about some dubious comment made by Superman that wasn't born out in the showing? "Something was wrong?" Yeah, until further notice, he got his ass handed to him, plain and simple.

Except, people are indeed arguing Atlas fighting Superman, and they don't know the context. I actually read everything there, unlike you. That was one of multiple reasons. It's not a strawman. You're simply ignorant, and trying to defend your ignorance.
So, unless anybody can prove that Thor would have a similar effect, it's worthless for the Thor side. Are you going to actually argue feats/showings for Thor, or resort to arguing examples you know nothing about?

I always looked at it like this, Superman tends to have an easier time overcoming damaging magic. By this I mean, like a fireball or a lightning bolt or anything, a magic missile. I think his resistance to these things is actually above a normal persons, he just isn't outright invulnerable to them. Case in point: he's taken repeated bolts of magical lightning in the past and not died. A normal human isn't going to really do the same. He's been hit by magical fire and commented about how he could feel the heat, but wasn't burned by it. He's also inhaled magical poison without dying. This is all pre Nu DC obviously, it could be different now.
More esoteric stuff, soul rips, transmutation, that is the type of magic he's going to have no real defense against at all.
