Then you are not an atheist either. An atheist does not believe in God – not just deities. God is the universal force, not a deity.
“Deity” is a global term for any type of god. If God is a universal force but not a deity, then I suggest that you are misusing the word “God”.
But even if God was not considered a deity your statement would still be incorrect — atheists don’t believe in deities, I don’t believe in deities, therefore I am an atheist, no matter how “God” is defined.
