Well, I'm not trying to conflate anything, I'm trying to clarify

You said you'd consider a pig an atheist, but your current definition seems to exclude that.  Is a pig an atheist, or does it have to be a person?

I have answered that prior.
That I would consider an animal to be an Atheist as it lacks belief in the theistic position.

Then I don't understand the distinction between this and my sandwich. Or if you prefer an animate example, a cactus. 

A cactus, by this definition, is an atheist as it lacks belief in the theistic position.  So your definition is not specific enough and you need to add to it.
