I think they’re pointing out the precision-of-language thing: a-theism is the belief that god does not exist. A-gnosticism is the belief that you are unsure whether any number of gods exist. The least amount of opinion you can have about deities is to be a disinterested agnostic (I think?): “I don’t care if god exists enough to wonder about it.”

(Since you can point to the deceitful-god theory to say that the entire universe formed in this instant with this state, and your memories are just a result of god’s machinations a moment ago, both atheism and agnosticism are non-disprovable. The deceitful-god theory may run counter to the common Christian doctrine of Theodicy and may therefore not be subscribed to by many.)

and they all fall to a quick sniff test: does it make any sense for gods to play games to lure people to faith, and fake others out? not if we're to believe their adherents and their texts. those adherents love to brag about their deities' omniscience and omnibenevolence.

nah man, it doesn't compute - a lack of belief is not a belief into itself.
