Yep, there it is, right on cue. The "no true Scotsman" fallacy. "You don't believe anymore? Well then you never REALLY believed in the first place."
In one sentence, it 1) allows the responder to feel superior, that they have belief (and therefore, the love and special favor of an omnipotent sky-daddy) and you, poor deluded ignorant scum, do not, and 2) to immediately and quickly dismiss any hint of a possibility that there could be any logical reason for your statement of disbelief. They are not even capable of considering that the brainwashing that they are still reinforcing within themselves could possibly be broken - rather easily - in anyone else, much less the possibility of that being a positive thing.
The typical atheist response, because a Christian can tell when someone is not genuine it just bothers atheist something terrible. I have a hard time understanding why it bothers you, you don't believe there is a God so by this admission I would have to be total correct in your book. I don't and never have felt superior to anyone else including, to be in a relationship with God one has to have a humble heart. I can promise you this you nor anyone else could ever cause me not to know God is real. Your impolite wording towards God and myself show your childish mind.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
