We doesn't always mean everyone, especially after you specify the people you are talking about.
He made a joke, him and Casper are atheists, and don't believe in ghosts. I think you need to try reading it again.
I would more generally advocate that one only leave one entrance into their mind(reason), and keep the rest of it rather closed, as it is one hell of a lot easier to shovel shit in than it is to get it out.
If the evidence and reason for you to believe something isn't really any better than the reason you should believe some rural farmer from Arkansas got anally probed by interstellar visitors, then you probably shouldn't.
