Yeah, really good, I'm an "Atheist" too, I don't believe in what most people are calling "God" at all.
I'm A theist. lol
Really though, he's going to roast like a swine, bwuahaha.
As for the names, though I loved your idea, I find that those names are simply the "logical truths" and I can explain how!
When one says God is THE MERCIFUL, that does not mean "the most Merciful" as if some people are merciful and God is just more merciful than others. It can be considered a meditative statement to realize God is THE only merciful one, as the "source" of all that we call mercy, and also that whatever is given to us is given from the depths of total freedom, having no need to give it and no way of being paid back at all, that is Ultimate mercy, and none of God's qualities are anything short of Ultimate Truth that is simply logical when one thinks of how it is true.
God is literally The Compassionate, which no one else can ever be, because any creation only has access to their own unique experience of "being themselves", while God has access to all the information, which is the experience of each person as God has created it, and Compassion literally means to suffer along with or to feel as the other person feels, and those "feelings" are all part of the information in the experience, which God has created, controlled, and is aware of and has the full view of or access to, because the information is all there is, there isn't some extra view that God is blocked from the direct information which is all we are.
So again, these "praises" are not how one might imagine if they think carefully, they are just the literal fact of the matter!
What I am saying is that LITERALLY, how one worships the Merciful is by showing mercy, if you like letting the Merciful show mercy via us. He is indeed the one merciful, any mercy is a reflection of His being Meciful. That is His name, if we believe in Mercifullnness we certainly believe in the Meciful, because the only way mercy cnshow is by somebody being Merciful, name the One Merciful by Himself. Merciful, kind, whtever are not ttributes are His names, if we practice kindness we are worshping His kindness, His being the Kind.
No good person does not believe in God , but he or she may not believe in a concept of "God" that appears to him or her as a figment. In fact, when they reject figments, they are raising Al Haqq.

Yep, I really liked the idea.

However, the "good" deeds of the unbelievers is an insertion, the Qur'an only speaks about deeds (ل. As I understand it, that means "great deeds" that give honor, like discovering a new place or building a palace etc. These deeds will vanish for the unbelievers. There are no good deeds of the unbelievers, as unbeliever in the Qur'an is equal to unrightous behaviour.
This is basically correct. I earlier spoke of affinity and everything is about affinity in Being (allah).
If one has faith in Being good then that can show some innate faith.
Be well
