Have you researched other god theories proposed by other religions?

Is rejecting all god theories without checking them like rejecting the existence of atoms because bohrs model was wrong.

It plots on a Venn diagram reasonably well.
Depending on the definitions and characteristics of particular concepts of God, discounting one may or may not also affect related concepts.
For example, if one strikes out, for what seems like good reasons (just for example), the idea of a creator God that will affect all creator gods but will probably not, of itself, affect the question of non-creator deities.
Then there are the quasi-deities...
Highly advanced civilisations? (deliberate panspermia?)
Gaia?

Sort of. My knowledge of the world comes from experience and teaching. When it comes to things like biology, geology, physics, etc, I chose to get my information from the most reliable source possible. I have yet to find any science that there is a God. Once there is evidence or a reason to believe there is a God, then I will research the different Gods to find the one that best fits the evidence presented.

I'm not rejecting the theor of one God, I'm rejecting the theory of God. Period. I have researched the major religions of the world. Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, and Hinduism.

You have it backwards. I don't reject anything until after it is presented to me. But the default position is not to accept any belief until it is justified. You seem to think one should believe in everything until it is disproved. It doesn't work that way.
You need to come up with a case for how this incredibly complex nearly infinitely improbable god can "just exist for no reason at all". Until you can do that I have no reason for believing in such a thing. It is not my job to disprove your claims.

I have done some comparitive study of religions and actually embrace Buddhism, though I am rather lazy in my practice. Of course, Buddhism is not a religion in the western sense, since they do not require a belief in God.

I haven't selectively "rejected" the Christian god. I don't "reject" any gods. I don't believe there is one supernatural being running the show, no matter what religion it is associated with.
And yes, I have researched.

I reject any and all deities, known and unknown, primarily because the universe as it exists prevents the exercise of free agency and free will.
Either no deity exists or the deity cannot hold us responsible to begin with, so what's the point?

omnipotent omniscient beings messing with the fate of mankind and/or the entire universe?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I can reject that without doing any theory injustice.

Surely if we rejected God but didnt reject, say, Buddah, we'd be Buddhist, not Atheist? So yes we reject them all.
