Oh, wow, ok. It's rare that I get to see as much convoluted logic and verbal gymnastics as OP is providing us.
It's just as simple as this, dude: I'm an atheist because I don't have sufficient evidence of any god to believe in that god. If god were actually all knowing and all powerful, he would know exactly what would convince me of his legitimacy and he would easily be able to meet that criteria. The fact that he hasn't leads me to believe that either
1) god doesn't care if I'm an atheist,
2) god wants me to be an atheist or
3) god is imaginary
