This idea of the non-sequitur after negation is fine, but it really only matters if the question can only be framed in a particlar way. "p therefore God, not p therefore not God" is a logic fail, fair enough.
But that only matters if this is the question: "Is there a God?" What if the question is "Should we invest mental energy and time in believing in God, and acting on those beliefs?" Without positive evidence supporting God and its importance to us, the answer is-- only if we feel like it. And atheists don't.
