It is really hard to come up with a meaningful definition consistent with the god beliefs men have believed throughout history so I don't try. Instead I use the definition of "an intelligent creator of the universe", then I am an atheist according to that definition because I don't believe the universe was created.
I realize this definition does not include well over 90% of the god characters man has made up but it avoids me having to make the arguement that Thor does not exist, which is simply not an arguement which interests me.

A definition is a definition; definitions do not have religions.
As to how an atheist defines "God" - you'll have to wait for an atheist to answer to find out.
People who put limitations on their questions tend to get VERY limited answers.

A "god" is a concept that humans have of a being that has supernatural qualities of some kind and is capable of creating life, planets, galaxies, weather patterns, etc.
A "god" is also an answer for everything those same humans simply don't know.

God is supposedly some supernatural invisible being that created the universe, the earth, and all living and non-living things in it.....
There have been other attributes that have been given to god by various religious groups, however, they are not able to even agree.

Magical beings credited in mythologies with supernatural powers who control the world and screw around with mankind for fun and glory.

Usually they are referring to the Judeo-Christian-Muslim God because that's usually what people are talking about when they capitalize God.
