Pickup, am I right in assuming that you have changed the definition of god? I'm gonna proceed on this assumption.
I think the way one defines atheism is intrinsically contingent on how god is defined. It appears that in your OP you are applying a different definition of god while not calibrating your definition of atheism. This leads to you asking the question of doubting atheism. You have changed the creature but not the tool.
It is also not surprising that you should have doubts because you are evaluating something totally different. The mechanisms that make atheism viable can fall away as soon as you change "god".
