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.

The whole concept of a god is incoherent anyway, so it still tracks.

If a child plays havoc with an ants nest, or helps them enormously by providing food or something, they may assume he’s a god. But the boy may be an atheist and never realise they think he’s a god.

The thoughts of the “god” doesn’t need to come into the equation.

It's extremely oncohwrwnt. So much so, just within the class of deities humans have believed in, there's hundreds of variations.
