Even if "God" showed up, how would I verify he's not just some spoiled rich alien brat with amazing technological tricks & illusions?

For some of us, it isn't about being happy.Everyone can believe in everything which make them happy and secure. It doesn't matter if this will be God or something else. The meaning of believing is just to feel better in this world
It's just what seems to be.
(Happiness just happens anyway.)
Where we really luck out is that the universe is just so darned complicated & interesting.
No. I am not unsure of my beliefs, though. Its just that people change and I cannot predict the future. So I cannot say I know what my faith will be like in, say, 10 years. I believe I will remain an atheist, but I dont know.

No. But I don't really care. I care more about living my life morally. If a belief in a deity becomes part of that, so be it.
My primary position is agnostic, anyway, so it wouldn't be as much of a stretch, compared to if I was sure about atheism.

Reasonably sure. It is no big deal, I suppose. On the other hand, I don't see much of a vocation for belief in God in myself, either.

I'm always open to any and all information regarding anything, and am readily prepared to change any and all views if all relevant facts and variables demand it.
Of course, this is why I'm an atheist in the first place.

As long as people continue to call me "atheist" for following truth than I am sure to remain one.

Not being sure about such things is part of the reason I'm atheist in the first place.
You seem to be making the all too common mistake of assuming atheism (or theism) is a choice. None of us can choose to believe or not believe in a god, we simply do or don't. We can seek further information to influence our beliefs but we can't control how our brain interprets what we find.Why you choosed, as you are not so sure ?
