LL: No, atheists don't believe in god, that's all t takes to be an
atheist. It's skeptics and rationalists who accept only what has been
shown to exist through evidence and reject that which has not been. An
atheist who has come to his atheism through that process is still just
an atheist.

LL: If we'd all only accept as true that which has objective evidence,
what we accept as true, but which changes later, will be very rare.

LL: If they truly believe a god exists you can't say they're atheists.
If they believe Jesus existed and was the son of god, they're
Christians. How they display their beliefs has no bearing on whether
they're  "true Christians" or not, whatever that might mean.
