The key point is that atheist don't believe in God, but believe that
God deos not exist. But to have such a belief you need to believe that
you have the right notion of God, and this is what they share with the
christian: the same conception of God, even if it is to assert its non
existence. They dismiss, like the fundamentalist christian, the
possibility that there is other religions, or other conception of God,
which shows they don't read the literature.

I works with "house" and "Brent" too. What's curious is that
failing to believe in anything implies that you do believe in it. I
suppose it goes along with the spirit of "everything". If I can
think of it clearly enough to fail to believe it exists then it must
be among the the everything that exists.
If Bp & ~p, then the machine just reasons inaccurately. Believing in
Santa, even though not real (real enough to be minor source of
income for some at certain times of year...), like children that go
through the Santa performance.
If you believe p while also not believing p, then you are peculiar
reasoner.
Peculiar machine/reasoning: Bp & B~Bp
If I remember this stuff... so grain of salt.
But yes, negation as a whole is kinda weird/curious fundamentally. PGC
