I believe I'm an atheist
This morning, God finally
Put on his hat, and said
'Right - that's it.
If you don't believe in me,
then I don't believe in you
either.
So there.
- and don’t go asking me
for any more favours!'
Bang went the door
and I heard Marlene's dog
bark as he passed the gate
It's all gone quiet
But I'm worried now that
he's not really gone
but doing his 'I can see you,
but you can't see me'
trick again in the next room...

I enjoyed this. Liked the irony of the title and the 'dog' bit - and the quirkiness of it.
Not many people write about God without being overly religious or aggressively cynical so your poem is very original.
