Imagine thinking "If God doesn't exist, what's to stop me from killing someone?" was a compelling argument
I thought so too, until I noticed that some of the people holding the above opinion diagnosed me as believing in God despite my atheism. Then I observed that I was bound by the same moral code as the theists, while my rational self-identification was insufficient to explain that.

Someone saying that you believe in god because you hold the same moral code, despite you actively communicating you don't seems like fallacious reasoning. The same mechanism that dictates the morality in each of you exists independent of your identification of what it is.

The point is that I implement a belief in God, but I did not recognize it, because I had the terms belief and God mistranslated. In the post-enlightenment ontology, the words have different meanings.
