I see, yeah its within the context of the Abrahamic god. So when that is brought up, they have to be opposed as one is affirmation, one is negation, and neither affirmation or negation on the position is agnosticism.
But I'm saying, a Christian is presented with the proposition, "Zeus exists", if the Christian says "Zeus does not exist", they hold to the negation of the proposition. If atheism is formally recognized as negation of p (god exists), the Christian is acting as an atheist when they reject Zeus since they are holding to the negation of p. I'm not seeing any way around that.
The Christian isn't 'acting as an atheist' by rejecting Zeus.
They are acting as a theist by affirming the existence of a 'deity' that isn't Zeus.
