Well, here's my take: Atheism is not an unreasonable position in and of itself. There are lots of good arguments for it. But selectively misapplying standards of historical attestation is not one of them.
Nobody is challenging the historicity of these men's consulships just because the available evidence is not unambiguously contemporary instead of just ambiguously near-contemporary.
I mean: carpenter vs aristocrat. Who leaves more records?
