S believes P... and P is true... Atheists don't "believe" anything. So how is that argument applicable?

Thanks again for the clarification.

I think you have something confused. Let's start from the beginning.

Atheists here combine two mutually exclusive views into one (agnostic atheist).
They justify this by saying "agnostic refers to their knowledge, while atheist refers to their belief".
JTB (which at least one atheist here seems to affirm) says JTB = knowledge.

Again forgive my obtuseness. But is not atheist one who rejects belief in the existence of deities? Also is not an agnostic one who thinks something such as "god" can't be known. How then are these Mutually exclusive?
