perhaps in a Bizarro world, revert would have that meaning but not in this world
revert:
1. to return to a former habit, practice, belief, condition, etc.: They reverted to the ways of their forefathers.
2. Law. to go back to or return to the former owner or to his or her heirs.
3. Biology. to return to an earlier or primitive type.
4. to go back in thought or discussion: He constantly reverted to his childhood.
If you take atheism to mean a philosophy of active disbelief in God, then yes, it would be a fallacy! However, if you take atheism to mean simply "without God" or "without a belief in God" then we're all born atheist.
