Having both pilots in on it doesn't explain anything as there are plenty of scenarios for how the other pilot was incapacitated.
I don't think it was confirmed that the pilot was an atheist. The Malaysians still claim he was a Muslim. He did 'like' atheistic videos on his channel but I doubt he stopped praying, ate pork etc.
It is a HUGE deal for someone of his status to claim to be Atheist in Malaysia. He would be ostracized immediately by his extended family etc.
I had some Malaysian Chinese students and they were complaining that they couldn't even praise Islam in their classes or even discuss it. They had no right to express an opinion on that topic.
