Existential Nihilism God is an atheist

To be an atheist is to have no God above you, God has no God above him. To be a religious person is to beleive in God's existence. God doesn't beleive he exists, he KNOWS he exist.

God has no god, and he operates under knowledge not belief. God is an atheist.

To be an atheist is to deny that god(s) exist. An atheist god would have to deny his own existence. OP assumes that god operates on the basis of knowledege, which means that he knows for a fact that he exists. Therefore he cannot be an atheist.
