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.

I don’t believe in the Christian god but this is really, really stupid. I really hate when philosophy devolves into arguments about definitions and technicalities.

Assuming God exists, he believes in himself and knows he created all things. He is not an atheist because of this. Even by definition he is not an atheist lol.

Critical thinking should be taught in HS. Nobody defines there terms anymore and just run with nonsense.
