God is malevolent. = I am more righteous than God.
God's incompetent because doesn't save everyone. = I am the judge of who should be saved.
God's creation is flawed. = I have the expertise to evaluate God's performance.
God created evil. = I have better moral judgement than God.
So you're wrong. Nearly every atheist objection to God, as God, assumes that the atheist is smarter, wiser and more righteous than God.
