Allow me to stick my toes into the furnace here. (mmmm ... warm)
I presume greatly here, but what I see in the material just cited is a legitimate invocation of the Razor without all the logical gymnastics you charge. Here's the hinge. Sidney originally stated
while the disbeliever is basing [his] assumption upon a lack of knowledge of God.
I see our feline fellow as using the razor to discard the bit about not knowing God. The disbeliever bases his assumption on entirely different things. A presumption about God suggested in the conscious lack of knowledge indicated above is an unnecessary wrinkle that sticks up enough to get shaven.

How'm I doing?
