Neither..
He's simply "trying on" atheism in the same way you'd try on a new coat to see if it fits comfortably. He might decide to ditch atheism in the future for all we know.
I myself tried being an atheist in my younger days but it only lasted a very short while because I felt very uncomfortable and stoopid because I just couldn't dismiss the entire nation of Israel's and the Roman army garrison's eyewitness accounts of Jesus..

Can you offer the name of a few...I'd like to read 'em?

Wait a minute Jack, in one breath atheists say the Bible is full of contradictions, then in their next breath they say its been edited and prettied up over the centuries to make it look good.
Make up your minds huh?..

Think 'politics' mate-
When christianity began snowballing in popularity after Jesus's execution, the snooty Jewish priests and the posturing Romans said "Oops better not let on it was us who killed him, quick shred all the documents implicating us or we'll have a Jesusgate scandal on our hands.
Let's never mention his name and airbrush him out of history, and start hassling christians, then people will soon quickly forget about him"..
Nevertheless 27 books did slip through the net and get published as the New Testament....
Jesus said- "My words will never pass away" (Matt 24:35)
Frank Apisa said: I see. So you are telling me those books were written by members of the Roman army.
No wonder there is so much mythology in them

Think it through mate-
The Roman soldiers were gagged from mentioning Jesus, so writing a book about him would have been a court-martial offence!
However, Paul (a Roman civilian) wrote 14 of the 27 books in the New Testament although he got in hot water for it..

..your suggestion that we have "eyewitness accounts" from the Roman garrison.
Or are going to withdraw that assertion because it is unsustainable?
