No, you can't. Atheism by definition is the disbelief in God. If you say everyone is God, or bits of god, you believe in god and are no longer an atheist.

But i don't think that's what you are trying to say. The way your argument is coming across to me is that you believe in certain qualities in people- trust, love, dependability, generosity- and saying that these qualities are what people should work towards. Which I find admirable, but does not have to much to do with the topic of the thread.
