Meh, not precise enough. What do you mean by hard atheism?
What are the characteristics of God we are talking about?
By hard atheism I mean those who claim the non-existence of a God or gods as fact. They do in fact exist, and they are for the most part insufferable to have a conversation with.
As for the characteristics, a lower-case "god" would be a being which possesses power which would appear as incomprehensible magic to humans. This would apply to any being such as a demon or angel.
The creator God would be distinguished by his ability to, if not outright create, at least mold and shape universes to his liking.

You don't get to define the characteristics of a supposedly fictional character that you did not create, just as you are not able to decide that Harry Potter is a purple giraffe without people correcting you.
So why does Gabriel make an appearance and why does Jesus? Did god rent them out to a different franchise?
Because their god is a liar who's trying to ride on the real one's coattails.
