According to Descartes: for any X, P(X exists | X is taking the survey) = 100%, and also that 100% certainty of anything on the part of X is only allowed in this particular case.
Therefore, if X says they are Atheist, and that P(God exists | X is taking the survey) = 100%, then X is God, God is taking the survey, and happens to be an Atheist.
Either they’re actually a misotheist, or they’re using a nonstandard definition of “God” or of “atheist” (though I think at least the former was defined on the survey), or they misunderstood the question, or they’re trolling.
Okay, I’ll bite: What does someone mean when they say they are Atheist, and they think P(God) = 100% ?

Presumably “Yeah, God exists, but why should I care?”. Or trolling/misunderstanding the question.
Wouldn’t that be the very definition of a deist or an agnostic, instead of an atheist?
I didn’t say that they were good at defining terms.
