We project the good shit too, in balance to fear and narcissism. I doubt that Bel will have trouble accepting that, it's more the case that hordes of people, believer or not, are referring to a specific type of god claim, and all that the rejection of this claim entails. It's not as if he tries to make his points by reference to obscure pre-columbian pantheons...even, more limitations within the already limited remit of theism.
Implicit bias due to cultural hegemony. In that context, the insistence that an atheist must have heard and rejected a god claim to be an atheist at least makes sense, even though it's ultimately wrong. Outside of that implicit bias...those silent assumptions, the insistence isn't even cogent, and it's still wrong.
An atheist doesn't believe in gods. No atheist has to read saint tommy and reject his propositions in order to be an atheist - and plenty of people who do believe in gods have read saint tommy and have rejected his propositions.
