Is the Atheism/Theism belief/disbelief a false dichotomy? are there other options?

[robvalue]

Our new friend bambi seems a candidate for an atheist and theist simultaneously. He seems highly aware that the arguments are suspect and pretty much admits the logical arguments aren't solid. He's aware how ridiculous it seems to us, and how it would have been even to himself not long ago. Yet he is emotionally caught up in believing. (Apologies if I've misrepresented.) Maybe different parts of his brain are in conflict?

I suppose it comes down to how this informs actions. But the brain could send mixed messages. It certainly seems to for people who think God is protecting them yet fasten their seatbelt.
