Atheism says God does not exist.
Then atheism is the God of atheism.
For theism says God is being and the universal cause of being.
But then atheism denies the existence of the prime being and the universal cause of being.
But contingent things exist and thereby have being.
Atheism then cannot account for the existence of anything without a universal cause of being.
For no contingent thing can cause itself to be.
As according to atheism, the universal cause of being is not God, then the universal cause of being is then something other than a creature and God.
What is other than a creature and God is atheism,
For atheism is which exists apart from creatures and God.
Atheism then itself is the thing as a substitute for God as being.
But then atheism must substitute the theistic God which is being for atheism.
Therefore, the god of atheism is atheism.
