I don't think the muslimatheist believes in god. I could be wrong.
That is the mistake he makes, Christians make, and you are making now. It isn't about what the individual believes. This dodging ignores that the words are still there for others to justify anything they want.
Find me 1,000,000 Christians and have them read the same verse and you will find 1,000,000 different excuses to buy it or ignore it. Find me 1,000,000 Jews and read a verse from their holy books, and again, you will find 1,000,000 different excuses to use it or ignore it. Find me 1,000,000 people who follow Islam, read the same Koran vs, and you will find 1,000,000 excuses to follow it or ignore it.
None of that changes the fact that the words were written in the first place.
Religion is poison for this very reason, for any good the believer thinks it might do, it causes far more harm and division and tribalism than any good they might do.
I do not find any "idea" good that starts with an immovable figure(god) that will only give humans peace if they only obey him like a slave obeys a master.
If he does not believe in a god, then I see no point in calling himself a Muslim. That is merely an attempt at that point to justify geographical tribalism.
