How Do You Get Over Death?

Not at all. He could well be an "Idon'tknowist".

You don't like it when theists tell you what your atheism involves. You should avoid the hypocrisy of dictating to another member their beliefs, and at the very least give them the chance to, you know, explain for themselves.

Seriously, don't be so patronizing. It's not only insulting to the subject, it shows you in your worst light to the audience.

Did you not bother to read the last sentence in my post?  I specifically said that Aoi Magi may not accept what I was saying.  So you are just wrong in saying that I was dictating to another member their beliefs.  

That does not alter the fact that "atheism" means "not theism" and therefore "not atheism" means "not not theism" or in other words "theism."

No. There is a middle ground you are ignoring, which is "I don't know." And to my larger point, perhaps "dictating" was not the best word-choice, seeing as how you cannot enforce your views upon him in any manner; but you are taking the liberty of defining his own view when you don't necessarily know what it is, given the fact that you are ignoring the middle ground mentioned above.

Plenty of us both do not believe in god(s), and still do not know whether or not they exist. A little nuance goes a long ways.
