I agree that in some cases, a person's beliefs concerning god or the lack thereof may NOT be reasoned conclusions based on conscious premises.
A person might believe that there is no reason to believe in a god based on a whim, or a prejudice, or force of habit. We might call such things reasons, but bad ones.
The point I am trying to make is that calling such a condition a lack does not mean that the atheist has nothing to defend.
