Really I couldn't live for one day in mind that there is no God?

I just was thinking that an atheist deny a God of his imagination.

If you're an atheist you're just not going to live a day thinking there is a god. That's like asking a gay guy to go a day fantasizing about women. It just doesn't work, it's not gonna happen.
I say that because being an atheist doesn't feel so much like a choice as it does an inability. It feels like an inability to feel and understand "god" the way that other people do.
I can't even answer your question because I can't pick one of the types of gods you provided. I have no idea what god is or how he could possibly be, or what he means, or what he's there for. How can I just make one up?

How can an atheist prefer any god, or set of gods? Seems like that would kind of invalidate their belief system. Most likely they'd 'prefer' the Invisible Pink Unicorn or similar, but for totally different reasons than a religious person might choose their god, or gods, or whatever.
Speaking as an agnostic, no god of any sort has any meaning for me, so lots of days go by when I don't think about it, or feel any applicable certainty. Why bother believing in something with no evidence? Why bother explicitly not believing in something, also with no evidence? It's a totally arbitrary choice, why waste your time with it?

10 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.
9 - You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.
8 - You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.
7 - Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" including women, children, and trees!
6 - You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.
5 - You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established age of Earth (few billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old.
4 - You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs -- though excluding those in all rival sects - will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering. And yet consider your religion the most "tolerant" and "loving."
3 While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in "tongues" may be all the evidence you need to "prove" Christianity.
2 - You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers. 1You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of god
1 - You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history - but still call yourself a Christian.

I have no idea what you're trying to ask me.
I could not live a single day with the false certainty that there is a God. Ergo, I am an atheist.
I prefer wisdom to superstition.
Thank you and good luck in all that you do.

The god of the Deists is the only one I could contemplate believing in.

Can you live a day feeling that there is no such thing as God and I will live a life that is socially acceptable ?

you choose to believe in something else.
