Atheous! A = without
Theous = God
Present science is based on the five physical senses. God cannot be experienced with the five senses. One can experience GOD only through the Inner Senses of the consciousness.
Religious Believers base their beliefs on books they read or sermons they hear and cannot prove the existence of God with their five sense either. One can experience GOD only through the Inner Senses of the consciousness
Only the one who experience God with their Inner Senses sensed God and knows God.
Since God is not sensed by any scientist or religious believer, no scientist and religious believer is with God or knows God; thus all of them are Atheous!
Therefore since both scientists and religious believers are Atheous, none of them could be atheistic.

There are some problems with your statements above. I will highlight them below.

i.e. subjective experience in other words which is not testable or falsifiable or the validity can be shown.

Interesting, one may conclude that all people are born atheist from your statement, since religion
must be in all cases taught. Which is always the case.
Also, your consciousness is not a sense. It does not touch, it does not feel, it does not smell, it does nothing. In fact, your brain, where your consciousness is housed, has no nerves whatsoever.
All your sensing is yourself, and your beliefs, which are what they are, beliefs.
Now if you want to say that your consciousness is sending out a signal to God and back in forth, this is something we should be able to find. However, we have not.

And what about the scientist who believes in God? Your dichotomy is false because it drops them out.

Your conclusion commits the
fallacy of four terms.Basically you applying the word atheist to mean more than what it means. Atheism is no theistic belief. Period. You've end around it and said that it does. Which is really no more than the
Affirmation of the consequent. "If A then B, therefore if B then A."
A = A. A ≠ B. B ≠ A. Law of Identity, which is a presuppostion of logic.
(Also, I realize its something of a Buddist quon, a puzzle like the paradox of Nirvanna.)
