God for Atheists, presents a rational construct of God as the constant expression—denoted as {Δ}—that initiates existence, rather than an anthropomorphic entity within it. It argues that God, as Principal, is unvaryingly foremost to existence, embodying omnipotence, omnipresence, and omniscience. It asserts that acknowledging this construct does not conflict with atheism, as it transcends traditional notions of belief by defining God as the foundational process that brings existence into being.
As Creator of existence, God as a construct is Principal: ‘unvaryingly foremost’ to existence and thus, by any intelligent reasoning, not of it. In short, God as Principal is not of existence, rather God is the constant expression that creates/transforms it. This construct of God, as the constant expression Principal to existence, is backformed from every observation that:
To exist is to be ‘one who is out of’, thus reflecting that which issues from the constant expression: the conference of difference. In other words, to exist is to be ‘one who is out of’ the conference of difference. To reiterate, God does not issue from the constant expression of existence, instead God, as Creator, is the constant expression that issues existence. Thus God is ...but does not exist. If there were to be a mathematical equation of existence that captures the above it might be expressed a follows:
∃ = {Δ}
Here the symbol ∃ represents existence, the set notation { } serves as conference and the Delta symbol Δ serves as difference. Hence the expression {Δ} i.e. ‘conference of difference’ is the constant expression that, when read from right to left, initiates the equation of existence ∃ = {Δ}. Therefore, God as Principal: ‘unvaryingy foremost’ to existence is the constant expression {Δ} initiating the equation of existence, thus functioning as Creator.
As the constant expression that initiates the equation of existence, the construct of God as Principal is thus the genesis of all creation/transformation. As the constant expression that initiates all existence, God is omnipotent: ‘enabling [of] everything’. As Principal: ‘unvaryingly foremost’ to existence, God is omnipresent: ‘caused to go before everything’. As the constant expression that functions in ‘realizing [of] everything’ God, as Principal, is omniscient. Unlike all being: ‘action to be’ which is imperfect: ‘incomplete’ by definition, God as Principal: ‘unvaryingly foremost’ to existence is perfect: ‘complete’.
Subsequently, there is no paradox, to being an atheist i.e. ‘one who does not believe in the existence of God’ and yet believing: ‘granting leave’ in the construct of God as the constant expression {Δ} Principal to existence. Any argument that denies the construct of God as the constant expression {Δ} Principal to existence, denies not only the construct of God as Creator of existence but also the ‘condition of being’ that is existence itself. For as a ‘condition of being’, existence is by extension a ‘process of declaring together of action to be’ and thus an expression of mutuality created by virtue of the conference of difference.
To deny the creator: ‘that which creates’ is to deny creation: the ‘process of creating’ itself. For there can be no clay pot without a potter, no creation without a creator.

Despite its title, the Gospel of Being is a critical thinker's, no nonsense guide to existence. It reveals an easily verifiable universal principle governing the existence of everything from the quantum realm to the universe itself—including you.
