You used loosely defined term: “Divine being”.
Those things are IMO by the most grownup christians internalized definition of the “divine being”.
So this is the same thing and can be replaced.
I am saying most grown up Christians do not believe in an actual “divine being” (definition: a really powerful, physical, human like creature).
There is also a concept in Christianity that “God” is a part of every human.
Let me rephrase your comment in a few ways.
Consider by the definition I am talking about: Love,wisdom,… = Concepts = Values = God = Divine being = part of humans.
“I think the problem with this is while atheists may believe in God, we don’t make them to be about God, we just think God is just inside every human.”
Or
“I think the problem with this is while atheists may believe in Love,Wisdom,…, we don’t make them to be about Love,Wisdom,…, we just think Love,Wisdom… is just inside every human.”
That would be pretty far from the actual teachings of Christianity, and from their actual holy book that is the very center of the religion.
What you’re describing is more like “I was grown in a Christian culture, but don’t really buy the religion”. That’d make the person an atheist who’s christian only culturally.

Ignosticism can make things annoying.
