I’d say it’s because all current atheist writers are human, and therefore suffer from the same basic limitations of brain design as theists. A rational AI could, in principle, form and communicate beliefs without being as vulnerable to the trap.
But you probably meant that atheism and theism are both non-fact-based, which is a bigger inferential gap than I’m willing to try to cross right now. (Edit: And I don’t get how it’s implied by the existence of a middle ground at all.)
Also, there are no particular requirements that force atheist writers to be smart or rational, especially if they come from an atheist community. To quote another post here, “the God-test no longer works”.
