Toward named fictional characters purported to be gods of the cosmos, I am a Gnostic Atheist. Virtually all of those things can be traced back to previous influences and/or disproved by definition and/or empiricism.
Toward anything more vague than that (higher powers, cosmic consciousness, deist creator beings, etc.), I am an Ignostic Atheist, which is to say that in those cases the term "god" is basically meaningless. It can't be described or scrutinized in any useful fashion, except to say that it defies all description and scrutiny. In this stripped-down form, god becomes the purest embodiment of "Argument from Ignorance." All it's really saying is "You cannot deny the existence of a thing I refuse to describe."

Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
