"God exists, but is evil" is not an atheist belief
Well, you can take it as inherent in the definition of God that God is good - and then denying the existence of a good God means denying the existence of God at all.
Yes, this is a very silly argument. But isn't it just an inversion of the various ontological arguments for existence of God? [I can conceive of a perfect being, therefore there is a God --> there can't be a perfect being running this imperfect worlds, therefore there is no God]
