This is what I imagine atheists in the lore of D&D are like.
"Gods? They're totally real. I saw Baal himself kill a man once. But I don't believe in them. They're all gonna fail eventually."
Reminds me of Dorfl the atheist golem, from Terry Pratchett's Feet of Clay (set in the Discworld, a world where gods very much exist, and have rather short tempers):
Also of note the Ephebian philosopher “Charcoal” Abraxas, writer of the Disc's most significant treatise on gods, struck by lightning at least fifteen times.
There's also that bit about Granny Weatherwax not believing in gods because that just encourages them
I think that's basically it. Gods are not omnipotent and can be killed. Powerful mortals can likewise attain godhood. A D&D atheist can accept they're real but also believe that they're just really powerful people and not true divinities.
Heck, on that line of thought, it'd be cool to have a faction of militant atheists in a campaign whose goal is the eradication of all gods as a way to help bring order to the world. Additional twist: in this faction's effort to produce champions powerful enough to go at it with a god, they inadvertently create additional god candidates.
Edit: Actually I think I just summarized the plot of Neon Genesis Evangelion
Campaign tag-lines:
Gods all the way down.
Too many dieties!
A barrel full of blasphemy.
That's pretty much world history.
