Interesting.
I think The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy talks about this. Here's how the gist goes I believe:
Man says: God, for you to exist you should have faith in yourself. But if you have faith in yourself it means you do not 'know' you exist. Man tries to prove God exists and this makes unnecessary for people to have faith. And since God cannot exist without faith, God vanishes in a puff of logic.
So, if God is a theist, he believes in his existence but doesn't know he exists. If he knows he exists, as he has to, because he needs to be aware of his own existence, then he needn't have faith. And not having to have faith makes him an atheist. I don't know whether he would vanish in a puff of logic if he knows he exists though. Last I heard, logic doesn't apply to God and he can perform miracles (ironic).
