The unstated, and perhaps unconscious, move in the "I don't believe in your god just like you don't believe in Zeus" rejoinder is interpreting "What's it like to be an atheist?" as "What is it like to not believe in a particular god?" when, instead, the actual question being asked is "What is it like to not believe in *any* god?" In other words, the atheist here is effectively substituting a question about *qualitative* difference for one about *quantitative* difference. /2
