Helios: "(A): I lack belief in the theistic claim there is a god 

(T) I claim there is a god"

Your statement is not about objective reality, but a subjective opinion, hence the "I"s in both.
No, his statement is a statement about objective reality. He does, in FACT, not believe in a a god. It is an "opinion" about reality.
Just as yours is an opinion too. In your opinion, a god is there, and its a FACT that you made this claim (that you believe this).
