It would appear to me that you are making the archetypal theist error of compounding 2 aspects of God in one.
For an atheist there is the first issue - being persuaded God exists, followed by the second issue - being persuaded he is worthy of worship. These are not synonymous.
If Christ was who He said He was, would you worship Him? If not, why?

I have tried to find the place where I said that. Can you point me to it?

Huxley said: 'I had motive for not wanting the world to have a meaning; consequently assumed that it had none, and was able without any difficulty to find satisfying reasons for this assumption.'
Are you saying that is how you feel as well?
