[American Gods] can atheism be a new god?

I'm new to this serial, I only watched some episodes of the TV show, but there's a question that's bugging me.
Since people in America started to believe that there is no God, can a new god derived from there, like atheism??

Yes, but it would be born from those who treat atheism like a religion and who believe with absolute, unquestioning certainty that there is no god.  The atheist god born from this zealotry would be a self-loathing, hypocritical god.  It would look down on the fervent believers of other gods as deluded idiots but then demand that same level of blind devotion from its own followers.
