I apologise in advance but that reads as gobbledygook to me.
I can wax lyrical all day about allegorical/non-descriptive versions of representations of beliefs/notions/identities, but it doesn't mean anything. I would say, as a case in point, your description of an atheist god (nihilism - Summum Nihilum) is utterly absurd and not really representative of anything at all. I think I get what you're trying to say, that invoking a given god to then reject/deny it is still giving credence to said god, but you'll not find any atheist doing that, ever (please correct me if that is wrong). Nobody is 'denying' that a presupposed being exists; we are challenging that very belief in its entirety. We hold the idea that there is no god to deny.
