Any of them? Monotheistic just means a single presence or being, they are usually attributed a personality comparable to that of a totalitarian dictator, that being jealous, petty, vengeful if we are to describe the god of the desert. Though people commonly have a belief in a loving god who just wants us to be good and love each other, something contradictory to the image of staving children in Africa. Again, it could be anything to anyone else and i don't side with any particular description over any other, i disbelieve them all equally and cannot provide you with the definite image you are looking for because i don't hold one concept of god any more valid than any other.

you were noting and marking differences in my arguaments and other christian arguements. While I wouldn't really consider it as the conotation of discrimination; I was using to address the distinction between varying degrees of belief.
The definition is the topic of this discussion. I wanted an atheist perspective on what a monotheistic diety sometimes reffered to as God, Allah, YHWY, mother earth, etc. brings to mind. Define if you would the characteristics of said non-existant being. Something as simple as A creator, George Burns, or a big tittied monster would be great.I do appreciate the answers given al ready btw.
Maybe you should pick a different question. I hope i have made it clear to you why there is no atheist preconception of God.
