I think almost all of us, Christians and non-Christians alike, would define gods similarly: they are subjective agents, they are massively powerful, and perhaps they are immortal.
If I really thought that was all that "gods" referred to, I would be gnostic atheist. That sort of god is ridiculous.
A great many atheists are probably gnostic atheists..but due to centuries of disinformation, social pressure, and general douchebaggery from the religious nitwits; either fail to recognize themselves as such or do not wish to identify themselves as such.
You might, for example, be sitting there thinking "surely there has to be more to this god shit..it's so painfully ridiculous, there has to be more to it for all these people throughout all this time - a hidden variable"
-There isn't. The nitwits have been desperately -trying- to add the "more" to it for all this time..and the ridiculous shit you're looking at now is the sum total of all that work.
