Let's analyze this a bit deeper shall we?
2Jn 1:7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist.
Perhaps the writer of this epistle had a certain party of individuals in mind, but his description would truly match any unbeliever, no? After all, what atheist confesses that Jesus Christ -- the biblical version -- came in the flesh? Not many, I would wager. Therefore, this verse does cover unbelievers with that statement, and the writer is saying that such people are deceivers and the antichrist.
We can clear this matter up quickly if you can either get the original epistle writer or Jesus to set the record straight.
