I know a Christian Atheist, nice guy. He says he takes the Bible at it's word when it says God sacrificed himself for us, only he doesn't credit the "came back to life" part and says God killed himself so we could be free as the ultimate act of love.

The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 15 that if Jesus did not come back to life Christians are to be pitied above all people, as they deny themselves earthly pleasures and easy lives for no good reason at all.

I suppose you could create a bizarre merger of Christianity and Wicca if you equated God with the Horned God and added a partner. The really early Jews actually worshipped Asherah as the consort of Yahweh.

It's pretty ridiculous to expect that everyone identifying with a particular ideology should be bound by the popular or scholarly interpretations of said system of belief, ESPECIALLY when it regards a system that has been politically exploited ad nauseam for literal millennia.

To think that there currently exists nothing which one could reasonably refer to as "God" is atheistic, even if one would theistically consider it likely that at some point there was/ will be such entity. In the broadest, yet still meaningful, sense of the terms atheism and theism are not necessarily mutually exclusive.

Paul says that. You can revere Biblical scripture while still thinking Paul fucked up from time to time (or that he was a complete fuck up altogether) despite his enormous influence.
