....pretty sure this is a typo as well
But many theists do always drop the S, far too many times to be called a typo. Yet no one ever admits to it or realises that they are doing it.
I can see that it could be a typo for many though because the word atheist ends with a sort of s sound, but I never see atheists make the same typo when they mean theists.
I think it's more likely that people have unknowingly picked up the habit from reading anti-atheist literature.
I'm not denying that some may have a habit of using the word "atheist" in certain contexts. But it's obvious that these 2 examples you provided are typos lol. Grammatical errors. It wouldn't make any sense otherwise.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
