It's funny to be talking about whether understanding can span a conceptual bridge over that same conceptual bridge...
Yes, it sure is. But it's fun, too, so I won't complain about the irony. :)
(By the way: atheist? nontheist? Yon wikipedia article suggests they are different but overlapping. Nontheist seems to be anyone for whom the question "is there a god?" is meaningless. In case it wasn't your intent to include them, I'd like to do so, because I expect it doesn't complicate our discussion and the addition means we can include such people as Buddhist Quakers without worrying if they're actually atheists or if they just say mu.)
I'll come back to this tomorrow, 'cause my brain isn't coming up with anything useful.
