god is a set of mathematical statements or at least that’s how to interpret it in a modern sense, 2000 years ago these views didn’t exist so they just called it “the metaphysical realm” but it’s not made of atoms, no.
If God (or any creator of the universe) exists would he be made out of atoms?

Consciousness creates matter, not the other way around

Also, but not just, if we consider classical theism (pantheism), then there would be nothing that God isn’t. As God, if we would think of God as the foundation of all being, could not be anything that isn’t. Since what isn’t is without foundation.
Also, but not just, if we accept panentheism, where God is everything that is and isn’t.
Basically the only time that anybody would accept God as ‘made out of atoms’ is if that person accepts the inherently and explicitly atheistic view of metaphysical physicalism. Arguing for God from physicalism is like arguing for social healthcare as a (US) republican. There is an inherent disconnect between the two.

Yes. All of them.

I’m not religious any more at all, but I thought of god as a permeating energy. Energy can become matter and light. Someone smarter than me can explain why that doesn’t make any sense, but that’s what my brain had come up with when I was wrestling with it.
