Apologies if it was both (i) blatantly obvious and (ii) completely missed by me.
I said, "Fundy atheists can and do exist. They are 'fundy' about their atheistic views (be what they may)." A 9/11 conspiracy theory is not an atheistic view, for nothing atheistic is involved. The fact that an atheist subscribes to it does not make it atheistic.
