If you believe X, then it is necessary you believe Y.
If you believe the sun will rise in the east, it is necessary you believe in the sun. It is necessary you believe things rise. It is necessary you believe there is a direction "East". It is not logical that you do not believe in the sun, that things rise, or in East if you believe the sun will rise in the East.
It is of paramount importance that the definitions of the labels you use are correct. If by "God" you mean your left hand and by "atheism" you mean stroking your dick, then this conversation takes on a whole new slant eh?
