Are you sure that you are even asking a meaningful question?


Asking what something is composed of is basically asking for a list of distinct parts.  For instance, water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen atoms.  At some point you will find it difficult to ask about parts, but that doesn't mean that it is composed of nothing at all.  It simply means that you've left the context of composition.

Matter mostly, although there are energy components.  That is it.  No God.

Nothing that you can understand.  Go back to your Bible myths, fairy tales, and magic. Which have nothing at all to do with discussing atheism.
