I think you'd probably find that the vast majority of atheists really have very little (if any) problems with the possible existence of some sort of entity of superhuman power and influence. At least amongst most of the atheists I know, the issue has much more to do with the dogma, structure and blind faith in scripture characteristic of most organized religions. They take a stand of saying there is "no god" because that's a lot easier to say than saying, "if there is a god, he's not the god that Christians or Jews or Muslims or Buddhists or anyone else believes in and worships." It's a big fucking universe out there, and we occupy a ridiculously tiny blue-green corner of it, so who knows what might be poking around, and I think a lot of people are perfectly ok with that concept. It's the part where he cares about everything you do (or don't do) in order to reward you with a harp or a harem of virgins or a planet of your own or eternal hellfire that gets tricksy.
Which brings up another question.
If you get the harem of virgins, what happens to them after you've deflowered them? Do they get replaced with new virgins or are you stuck with your own sloppy seconds for eternity?
Think about it.
