I'm not an atheist, and here's why. I think I'm god. I don't think that's blasphemous. Speaking as god, I'm not offended.

Hello. I am offended that Simon Amstell would even entertain the notion of taking my place. Where can a god get a little respect these days?

So I think it was Martin Buber who referred to the God in You and the God in Me as true communication when these "Gods" converse.

Martin Buber was also a believer in the literal story in the O.T., according to something Joseph Campbell told. He quoted Buber as saying "We-" and that was a very Jewish We- "believe God spoke to Abraham." That would seem to conflict.
You sound like a true Satanist. They don't worship Satan by the way, they worship themselves. As Uncle Alister crowly put it : "Thy will shall be the sum of the law."

They really don’t worship themselves either, solipsism is one of the 9 satanic sins, LaVey warned against it. Crowley was an occultist who founded his own religion. The 7 tenants of satanism are here: [thesatanictemple.com]
And sins:

Tenant #3 is often misinterpreted as that maybe but it doesn’t quite go that far. “One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.”
If anything they worship everyone’s personal autonomy.
There just might be some truth there, interpreted in a certain way.
