I'm new here - I do believe in some sort of God and I'm fascinated by other perspectives.  Although I was raised in a baptist church (and I am still very active in that church), my image of God is no longer defined by those biblical or traditional christian beliefs.  My image of God might be closer to something like Pantheism or Panentheism, although I admit I know very little about these.  They are simply the closest perspectives I have been able to find which line up closest to my ideas.

Most of the posts and arguments I see here seem to be debating those biblical and christian perspectives.  So my question for the atheists is, is there room for other perspectives of God for atheists?  Can there be a "rational" perspective of God, or is any belief in a higher power contradictory to atheism?
