i think there's a lot of contradictory concepts of god
and that some of them might be acceptable
for instance, a scottish chap once said (and i'm quoting from memory so might be wrong) that "there is an initial cause in the universe, and we name that cause god, and ascribe to it every aspect of perfection." in that case the question "do you believe in god?" maps to "is there an initial cause in the universe?"
by many people's definitions i am an atheist, to be honest
