That's fine, and I wouldn't argue with it a bit.  But it's not atheism.

Speaking personally, if there really was a Supreme Being, and it was everything it's cracked up to be by the god-squad people, I'd feel morally obliged to oppose it.  What kind of person wouldn't?  "Yes god loves you, and wants you to suffer horribly forever because you ate peanut butter on a Thursday, and he really doesn't like that kind of behaviour".
