When people find the idea of God incredible they are considering the principle of a supernatural being. In most cases they are rejecting Beings who have been defined in thousands of contradictory religious dogmas in ways which are not credible.

Of course, if one has no definition or invests no meaning in the term "god", then it is not applicable to atheism. An atheist suspends belief in certain general conceptions of "God". If you define God as the sun but having NO omnipotence, omniscience, life, mind, etc. ... I am sure that every atheist would gladly accept the existence of a "God" so defined.

But if by "God" you suggest no meaning, definition, entity, or characteristics--then an atheist will simply find the matter irrelevant--there being nothing to critique, examine, or judge.
