Sure, I'm not saying it's at all helpful to be a theist and an atheist at the same time. It has happened in a split brain patient that I'm aware of, further to that I don't know for sure.
I could imagine that someone could logically see that God is a nonsense concept, and lacks belief, but also has strong emotional ties to the concept which leads to a contradictory belief. Maybe these inform actions in different ways at different times. What do people think?
Personally, I think all God belief is emotional and the logical side tries to rationalise it after the fact, which is why the arguments are all balls.
