Atheist A says I don’t believe in god ( not making a claim). Atheist B says god does not exist. After dinner who should pay the bill?
Update:
How was the lamb? Skewered. Any-heck, I concede, I pay the bill because I was just trying not to make a claim. It was easier I thought but , the reason I don’t believe in gods is because they don’t exist in the first place
Update 3:No Bryan I’ll pay this time. I often make strong atheist claims but use lazy logic or pejorative terms

The emotionally needy believer for whom they had to cut the food on his/her plate.
If there was a Christian present, he'd say to the waiter, "put it on my account".
By default, whichever invited the other to dinner should pay the bill. Unless they agree to go Dutch or split it. Whether they're strong or weak atheists is irrelevant to that.
If that was their sole topic of discussion, I am sure they would start off in the lounge and never make it to the dinner table.
The Christian at the table has to pay.
Since they lack any kind of moral fibre and don't believe in divine retribution, they'd both try to slip out without paying.
You are correct that an atheist is a person that does not believe that one or more deities exist.
Some atheists also "believe" that deities do not exist.
There is a difference.
Most of us just dine and dash. But only after leaving a reasonable tip if we had good service.
Atheist A knows that imaginary creatures aren't real, and he doesn't believe in them.
Atheist B knows that imaginary creatures aren't real, and he knows they don't exist.
Both are correct. They'll split the bill.
There is no debate.
Just because someone invents a god, talks about it or even writes it into a fictional story -
doesn't elevate it to some new status, which would suddenly require people to think "oh, it MIGHT be possible, now..."
so everyone has to accept some possibility for it...
It doesn't work that way.
IMAGINARY CREATURES DO NOT EXIST. PERIOD. UNIVERSAL FACT.
No amount of wishing, hoping or hand-mumbling will EVER change that!
Whoa, there's a lot of information missing in that claim.\
Like, were they at McDonalds or The Keg?
