Why couldn’t you define a Buddhist morality, and apply it to God?
Why does any morality you apply to God have to be atheistic?

Or we could agree that there’s a very very long list of things that I’m not, and agree that listing examples of them is more than a little pointless. 
Yes you were, though given your imperfect understanding of English it may not have been intentional.
When you start a sentence with “Isn’t it true that…” you are making an accusation, which also assumes that the answer will be “yes”. Any time you start with the negative form of “to be” or “do”, it’s implied that the answer is already known. Don’t you agree?
Say what? How? Why? Huh?
Look at your definition of morality which you shared and show me how it applies to God.
What does that have to do with “athiesm”? The standard may or may not apply to God, but it if doesn’t, we have no reason to say that God is good.
I do wish you would stop consistently misspelling “atheist”. You don’t misspell “theist”, do you?
No, that’s not my point at all, which was that the absence of any plan was not a good way to go about changing Iraq.
Has that been the case for the ~50 years that communist governments have been running the Indian state of Kerala?
I’m pretty sure that there are a lot of them in Kerala.
Please demonstrate that it is a fact in the case of Kerala, then.
Once again, kindly show that this has been the case in Kerala.

“Professed” being the operative word.
It is beyond reasonable doubt that atheists have held power at many points of history, and likely acquitted themselves rather well. But we can’t know the details because of the bigotry and hostility that has been historically directed at atheists and required that they stay in the closet.
It’s similar to how, when we say so-and-so is the first homosexual person to hold a particular office, it should be qualified with “as far as we know.”
