I'm ignostic, and whether or not I'm technically an atheist depends on the exact definition. By the simple version of lacking belief, then I am. I can't believe in something when I don't understand what is being described to me. All I hear is a doubly question begging "who made the universe?" followed up with an array of meaningless accolades and non-properties which help it avoid ever possibly being mistaken for something real.
Any definition I have heard is at best unfalisiable and at worst incoherent. Either way, I can't believe in it. I can however believe it is most likely a figment of the person's imagination when they provide me no good reason for them to think it is real either.
As for a sensible definition for God, such as a being running a simulation, I simply have no idea. Maybe, maybe not. Things would seem the same either way.
