Yes, I believe you have to. If you didn't, it would kind of take away the whole purpose...

Actually, no, but it wouldn't be considered traditional Wicca. You can practice an eclectic 'version' such as Dianic or goddess-based faith. The principle of worship is the same, but the beliefs are a bit different. And you may come to change your mind after doing the research and reading. Just because you 'do not believe in any God' now doesn't mean you won't in the future.

You can be a Witch and have no gods but a Wiccan with no gods doesn't make much sense...to me at least.

I do believe that the acceptance of a divine entity or entities is the accepted norm. By the way there are some, though far less know and infrequently referred to, Wiccan traditions which embrace the concept of Dryghten. A word said to be out of the Anglo-Saxon which best translates to imply "lord" but without the gender quality. Instead of the separate masculine or feminine expressions of god and goddess it is said to embrace the concept of a creative force that is both. I only mention it as I've not encountered this concept being expressed on the pages I've read hear, but then again I haven't had time to read them all!
