Paying lip service to belief but actually not acting as though there is a god.(which of course there isnt).
You would also have no way to prove that they don't believe something, unless they actually admitted to it. You can pay lip service and still hold a belief, albeit a weak one.
For those who believe there are true believers and false believers, how can you distinguish between the two?
Use specific examples, not "He has Jesus in his heart", as it's vague as all hell.
