Being an atheist means you don't believe in gods. That's it. You can believe in whatever other nonsense you want. You can believe the universe was created yesterday by the ghost of your future self. Whatever. You can believe bananas are magic and they keep the water wet. You can believe you're trapped in a computer game. (That last one is probably true anyhow.)
Atheism demands no default beliefs about anything else, including the origin of the universe. Each individual atheist believes whatever they want, so it's best to ask instead of creating a straw man.
So you believe we are trapped in a computer game. Who built the computer? It will always go back to a primordial mind which I believe is the Christian God of the Bible and there is no computer game. You seen the Matrix once too many times.
Well, no.
Your first claim is that ID is real, a claim for which you provide no evidence beyond your own lack of imagination.
Your second claim is that the designer must be bible god, a claim you make with no reasoning or evidence. It could be Allah or Vishnu or Odin or any of the thousands of other claimed gods on the basis of...something that you cannot say. The best you can come up with is "because".
The simple fact is that you were a bible thumping christian FIRST. The whole ID crap was something you simply shoehorned in retrospectively. You already believed in bible god long before you ever hear of ID, and in a saturnaliac orgy of confirmation bias, you simply obeyed your church and shoved it in along with all of your other biases.
