I presume that the god that you write about is that of the babble?
Your problem is easy to resolve.
Man created god. In fact, Man has created thousands of them. None of them are real. They are fictitious. There isn't one shred of evidence for any of them. A bunch of old books containing fairy tales about their fictitious gods does not constitute proof, in spite of what believers claim. All the books actually prove is that, once upon a time, some people wrote some books in order to persuade people that their god actually exists.
All you need do is to stop putting in the effort to believe in god/gods.
This has 4 benefits:
1. The incompatibilities between god(s) and feminism will disappear.
2. The effort that you currently have to expend in order to continue to believe in god(s) will be eliminated.
3. You will no longer sound stupid to your friends/family/acquaintances because you can now announce that you no longer believe in supernatural deities.
4. Your cognitive dissonance, caused by the illogical belief in god(s), will completely disappear.
I don't know whether I need a bottle in front of me or a frontal lobotomy.
