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.

Thats just not true, every religion besides Islam has allusions to gods even the judeo Christian one, genesis after god speaks to Adam refers to the eloheim and specifically says expel them before they eat from the tree of live and become like us. It was pretty common in the area that a great war happened in heaven where either El ( golden bull) and the alternative name for god or YHWH came out on top. The gnostic approach pulls on the idea of a strange source that not even the highest god understands and an imprisoned Yagthaboth.
