God cannot feel pride, for that would imply the possibility of failure. God is beyond most human emotions, probably all, for that reason: our emotions imply their opposites, while for God, there are no alternatives other than what is -- which is by definition perfect.

Mind you, I'm an atheist, so this is just my understanding of the argument.

Absolutely. Christianity is just one possible frame.
