You just.. you just can't... the definition is "disbelief or lack of belief in the existence of God or gods". Again, if they are gods and they are real within the fiction and it's well known and blatantly obvious then you simply can't call yourself an atheist.  If you choose not to follow those gods I'd say the correct word would be something along the lines of anti-theist. Now one argument I've heard about this is that gods aren't gods since they can be statted, they are just REALLY REALLY powerful beings. If that's the case then sure you can be an Atheist because you don't have gods you just have super magical amazing NPCS essentially. It's all within the terms that YOU define for gods.</p></blockquote><p></p>
