Except for all the other people acting as though they have consciousness, you mean.
Then with respect to other minds, you allowing a liberal level of inference while with respect to apprehension of the divine using strict foundationalism. Neither belief is based on a self-evident proposition. Neither belief is based on incorrigible experience (in the classical foundationalist sense). Neither belief is based on direct observation of another's first-person experience. If you applied your foundationalist demands consistently then you could not justify belief in other minds. Nevertheless it is a properly basic belief.
