If an all knowing, all powerful being created me,(according to religions), then it stands to reason that this God also knew I would be an atheist, it also stand to reason that he deliberately created me to be an atheist, therefore, since he created me with perfect foreknowledge of my becoming atheist, wouldn't it be immoral and even sinfully wrong for this god to punish me for his crime?

God made us all with a bit of knowledge about him. We can learn it from the heavens and the earth around us.
Romans in the New testament explains this very clearly.
So, God made you and he gave you and everyone else this knowledge. He also gave you the ability to accept this or reject this knowledge. So, did he create you an athiest? No, he created you a believer. He allows us to choose to accept or reject this. Its called free will, and we tend to apply this to everyday decisions instead of what it was truely meant for and that is to accept or reject your creator.
Does he know that you have rejected him? Yes, he knows all and if at some time you decide to accept him, will he know? Yes, he and all the angels will know, and the angels all stop and rejoice with each and every acceptance of God that is made in our hearts.

God created the tree in the Garden of Eden to establish "free will", so yes you have the free will to believe or not to believe in him. God created that as a test for you, you can come back to him. Anytime, he will always be there for you.
Also God is a loving God, but if you continue to deny him (at the end of times) he will eventually cast you into hell. But you get a bunch of very obvious clues that he is who he says he is first so don't worry. you should be OK.

Perfect knowledge - correct, we all have the answers within us
Knew would be an atheist - incorrect, we all have free will and choice
Deliberately created - correct, but in the sense of your own uniqness
His crime - incorrect, this is about you taking responsibilty for your thoughts and actions
I trust this helps.

God didn't make you with you having perfect knowledge. You atheists are always trying to distort the truth.

Please read my words carefully:
If you see footmark in the sand, you'll say that someone passed from here...
If you see a piece of dog sh*t on the ground, you'll say that a dog passed from here...
So what about the enormous universe, the sky, stars, planets, earth and all the beauty in it, doesn't it lead to that someone made it?!!!
Some people say that everything is created by itself after the big-bang... I won't ask you about what caused the big-bang, but I'll ask you a simple question:
If you take all the letters of the alphabet, multiples of them, and you threw them randomly on the floor. Do you expect (by a chance of one in infinity) to get a poem like shakespear's??!!
Can't you see how organized our universe is, the planets, the eco-system on earth, look even in your own body... Can you control your heart-beat? Can you control your breath while you're sleeping? Who stopped your eye-lashes from growing after reaching a certain length? Who told the baby turtles to move towards the sea and not to the earth after they come out of their eggs? Who taught the bird how to make nests?
My friend, think with your heart and brain. If you're still lost, think about the following:
Do you know how to play safe?
Your point:
If there's no God and you do all what you want in life, then nothing will happen to you after life. But if there was God and you were mistaken, then you'll blame yourself FOREVER...
Believer's point:
If there's God and I followed His commands in life, then I'll be in Heaven after life FOREVER. But if there was no God and we're mistaken, then nothing bad will happen to us after life...
Now you know how to play-safe, in case you're not convinced?

Yep, atheism is justified.
1. If God exists, everything that exists is part of God's plan.
2. Atheists exist.
3. Atheists are part of God's plan.
4. Therefore, God wants atheists to exist.
It would definitely be immoral for him to punish you for what is ultimately his fault. If he is all knowing then you had no choice in the matter. When he decided to create the earth he made all decisions for you, your "free will" was only an illusion.
"It is an insult to God to believe in God. For on the one hand it is to suppose that he has perpetrated acts of incalculable cruelty. On the other hand, it is to suppose that he has perversely given his human creatures an instrument--their intellect--which must inevitably lead them, if they are dispassionate and honest, to deny his existence. It is tempting to conclude that if he exists, it is the atheists and agnostics that he loves best, among those with any pretensions to education. For they are the ones who have taken him most seriously."
