Indeed.
Atheism isn't about caring or not caring, it's a state of mind regarding a factual question. It's not concerned with what value "God" might or might not have.
Of course, anyone who places God's opinions or desires higher than those of humans isn't going to be a very good humanist. It's a dangerous mode of thought. But any particular theist may not do that. For example, they may believe in God but find it irrelevant. This would be my stance, if I were a theist. I'd still be a humanist (or more accurately a human-and-other-animals-ist).
