That is So cleaver ...God does not believe someone created him. Therefore god is an atheist.
A point of curiosity: how exactly do you know what the one-god thinks or believes?
And I'm assuming you're talking about the one-god of the Bible-based religions, because the statement makes a lot less sense from other theological points of view.
Checkmate!
In correct. God is not an atheist.
God has confidence so he believes in himself![]()
His statement is basically applicable to every type of Theism except for Polytheism, and Henotheism.

Naw, there's more of them it doesn't apply to than those. It only applies to theism that posits:
- That there is only one god; gods creating other gods is extremely commonplace in non-monotheistic theologies.
- That "creation" and "creator" are distinctly separate; god is transcendent or fully separate from the world/creation rather than immanent or synonymous with the world/creation.
- That god is personified and assumed to think in human terms; it is not necessarily the case that god "believes" anything.
So yeah. With that, it basically only applies to classical monotheism: a personal, one-god creator that is distinctly separate from the world. It doesn't apply to polytheism, it doesn't apply to pantheism, nor panentheism, nor deism, nor animism, nor duotheism, nor henotheism, nor monolatry. And I might be missing a few in here somewhere.
Which God? Zeus the father of the gods was certainly created from a more primal god. The same goes for many chief gods and pantheons of major civilizations in antiquity who's gods are actually a younger generation of gods who rebelled against and overthrew the elder gods.God does not believe someone created him. Therefore god is an atheist.
