So you don't believe you're an atheist? If I accused you of unknowingly believing in a god, you wouldn't deny it?
Atheist is a label for people who do not believe in God. You don't believe in a system of atheism, you apply the label because you don't believe in God. If a person suddenly doesn't apply the term atheist to themselves it doesn't automatically make them a Christian.
You're changing the subject. While the OP is about christianity, this little subthread is about whether someone can lose their belief in atheism. Nobody in this subthread mentioned christianity until you did, and nobody in this subthread is a christian. I would appreciate some good faith engagement instead of changing the subject to those other guys over there we both hate. You hate em, I hate em, let's get over it and actually have a fruitful discussion.
You're saying you don't believe in a system of atheism. I'm taking this to mean you don't have any beliefs asserting your atheism. So if I accused you of not being an atheist, you wouldn't deny it, right? Cause you don't believe anything about you being an atheist. There are no beliefs you possess for me to challenge if I call you a theist, correct? You'd go along with it or hold a neutral view?
While you accuse me of not following the logic of your argument, you didn't follow mine. I never said I was an atheist, you just assumed it. Actually, I'm agnostic. The reality is I don't give a shit if you think I'm an atheist or not. Calling an atheist a theist is inaccurate, so is calling me one, but it doesn't personally offend me, it's just an inaccurate statement because it assigns a belief that I don't hold.
Maybe respond in good faith if you want good faith back
