While I don't want to come off like I'm tell you how to RP your own character, atheism in the TES universe isn't really feasible. It's entirely possible for people to make actual contact with the gods (Divines and Daedra alike), so much so that the rituals regarding how exactly to summon the gods are widely known. The gods frequently interract with their followers, and their artifacts appear several times throughout history.

If your character doesn't believe they're ACTUALLY gods despite their power, then yeah, you could RP that without breaking the lore too much.

IIRC, the Dwemer believed a somewhat similar principal. They knew the Daedra and Aedra existed, but didn't worship them, instead worshiping reason and logic, though the level of spirituality involved is entirely up for debate.
