According to the bible, god condemns me for being an atheist. Regardless of any moral virtue or uprightness of character I might have, God believes that I should burn in a lake of fire for an eternity. Isn't God an atheist just like me? I think god is.
God doesn't pray to anyone at all. God can only swear by itself because god can swear by no one greater (Hebrews 6:13). God doesn't worship anything else, except it self. God affirms very plainly in its word that "There is no God besides me" (Isaiah 44:6), thus, leaving no room for the possibility that a higher being other than god can exist. God hasn't confessed to Jesus, repented of all of it sins, or been baptized in Jesus' name. So it seems to me that god is not only an atheist, but a galactic dictator, a super-communist, etc. So why am I going to burn in hell for being an atheist, when god itself is an atheist?

U r absolutely right. IF God exists, he would b a dictator and a narcissist. 2 answer your question, I think God (if there really is one) is an atheist.

Is it necessary for you to talk to yourself about your worries, concerns, desires, expectancies etc especially when you have none of that going on with you? Well why should God pray to Himself? When you say that you are going to do something do you not answer by saying "I give you my word" (or something like that)? Well why shouldn't God swear by Himself? Do you find it necessary to worship yourself? Why should God? Better yet have you CREATED (from clay) any "beings" for the sole purpose and ability of worshiping you? Can you? I think not!! Is there not only one you in all the universe? Is there anyone better at being you other than yourself? God is no different! Why would you have to repent of sin if you were totally and perfectly sinless? Why would you need salvation for the same reason? Why would you need to accept and believe a son that you helped to create? Finally to answer your question in the spirit of which it was asked, you are going to burn in hell for being an atheist because you reject the God of your creation, His Son, and you have no discernible need to repent for the sinful offense you've committed against Him. Would you allow someone who rejected you, committed a crime against you, and vehemently refused to apologized for the offense come an live with you for one day let alone eternity? Why should God be expected to do anything different?

If God were to pray, He'd be praying to Himself. God the Father and God the Son (Jesus) are the same. God would be baptized in His own name plus baptism is for showing faith/forgiveness. God needs no forgiveness and is the author of faith. God needs no forgiveness of sin because He has never sinned.There is NO higher power than God, just as you pointed out. If God were to pray TO someone or something else, He would be going back on what He commanded and He'd be praying to a lesser being. God defeated Satan. That's one reason why Satan is in hell and God isn't. As far as I know, communist's don't believe in God so how could God be a communist? Atheists don't believe in God. God doesn't believe in atheists. BUT wants them to come to faith, forgiveness and to save everyone including them .

God doesn't hate you. God hates sin. God doesn't put people into hell. People put themselves there. God gives everyone a chance before they did to hear the Gospel. The rest is up to the hearer.
Also if God didn't believe in Himself then how could anyone believe in Him.

The term atheist was coined by man for fellow mankind... God is considered by man as supreme being, therefore if man thinks we are inferior beings, then we cannot relate ourselves to God.

You have to remember that over 30 men wrote the bible, not God. The words in the bible are their interpretations of Him.

Stop ascribing biblical nonsense to God.
He is unconditionally loving. Any other ideas about God are just lies that religion tell about God.

I am not an atheist. Listen to the words I said long ago.
John 8
54Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God: 55Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.

you are not going to burn in hell for being atheist, being an atheist would mean that you shouldn't believe in "hell" because its a christian belief.
