"I think we all know what God is" is the definition of God. That is the problem. It's why I'm ignostic.
I would say there is no initial opening statement for the atheist position, since it's entirely a response to theistic claims. So sure, you could define what it means in your opening statement. It would then make sense for the atheist's opening statement to be a reply to that statement. Otherwise the atheist is just guessing at whatever you might mean by "God".
This is all just my opinion, of course. I in no way mean to dictate how the debate will go.
PS: Also, the atheist wouldn't necessity even be arguing that "there is no God", only that any case for God that has been put forward is not supported.
