What if the God you believe in didn't create the universe?
Honestly, I don't quibble a lot about definitions. If a person expresses a belief that seems questionable, then it can be scrutinized, and if you are curious about your own faith stance, then you can bring up your idea for examination.
That being said, I will just say this:
Deity usually doesn't just mean "first entity in existence", it tends to be a purely mental/spiritual entity, but creating the universe isn't the most important function.
Pretty much a good number of the people on our list are likely naturalists(or reasonably close to that idea), and if you are a variation from naturalism, or if you espouse a very strange notion of this, then the real question is whether the variation is so much that it seems to include a concept that seems religious enough to not be identifiable as "atheist". However, many people are self-identified atheists.
