No, it doesn't assume a deity exists. It's a hypothetical. And in particular, this is an examination as to whether your ideas of omnipotence and omniscience are internally consistent or not. Your ideas remain inconsistent regardless of whether such beings do or do not exist. And given that you seem beholden to only accepting things that are logically consistent, regardless of whether it's an attempt to ringfence theistic beliefs or not, it's clear that you have allegiances which would justify your accepting that your formulation is thereby nonsensical. But then, I don't expect you to be particularly beholden to logic when applied to your own arguments as much as you are eager to apply, or perhaps misapply, it to the arguments of others.
