Disagree.

You seem to have missed "the human concept of  "god" is a cognitive processing error -- we observe random events and are prone to ascribe them to purposeful behaviour, and our theory of mine then back-projects a conscious intelligence behind it". 

In other words, *not* "there is no God" but "the concept of God is a cognitive malfunction".
