Won't work. What you're saying is literally "happy believer in the deity." Atheists don't believe and at least in my experience, atheists are generally unhappy people.

You really can't put enough lipstick on this pig to make it appear pleasant. As with the word "gay," once the atheists hijack a word, the word will become synonymous with something negative. When I hear the word "gay" it immediately brings to mind the words death, disease and unhappiness.
