Question:
Is the one who interprets the attributes and says that Allah has only seven attributes among the atheists? And what is the truth in this matter?
Answer:
Yes, and whoever denies the attributes, whether all of them or some of them, is an atheist regarding them. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-A'raf 7:180]. However, atheism (ilhad) varies; there is atheism of disbelief, and there is atheism of interpretation and imitation. The latter, which arises from imitation or from an interpretation one believes to be correct but is not, is lighter than the atheism of disbelief. The one who deliberately commits atheism regarding the attributes is a disbeliever, whereas the one who does so out of imitation or an interpretation he believes to be correct is misguided. He is called misguided, but he is not called a disbeliever.

Answer:
Yes, and whoever denies the attributes, whether all of them or some of them, is an atheist regarding them. Allah the Exalted said:
And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them. And leave [the company of] those who practice deviation concerning His names. They will be recompensed for what they have been doing.
وَلِلَّهِ الْأَسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَىٰ فَادْعُوهُ بِهَا وَذَرُوا الَّذِينَ يُلْحِدُونَ فِي أَسْمَائِهِ سَيُجْزَوْنَ مَا كَانُوا
