Quite the opposite. The fact that God is recognized by peoples from around the world shows that God exists. The fact that atheists say, often adamantly, that God doesn't exist, when they don't know that He doesn't exist, shows that they are setting themselves up as gods (by making a strong claim they don't know is true), at the same time they are denouncing His existence. They are essentially denouncing their own existence.
If you actually start studying history and examine the first gods, and the transition from animism to the first gods
You'll realize, that the gods were made up in order to give authority to the ruler
Images of An giving the ruler and the rod to Sumerian kings etc. is made in order to make people believe they must respect the king and the law!
May he be damned by the gods who disobeys these laws, and may he be praised who follows them...
The first law tablets were made up to 2500 BC (Urukagin, Urnamu...)
Gods were made for control!
Other nations saw it as convient, and applied it
You can see many nations after conquering an area changing the meaning of gods, inventing new ones, and expelling old ones
For example Marduk taking over and giving kingship to kings
Soon, Christianty was invented and since it was so liberal for the common folk, they started embracing it
And as every other religion it was forbidden
After the commoners started adapting it faster
Roman emperors (NOT CHRISTIANS!!) realized the new religion also has phrases about respecting the king and the kingdom, so it sees it as a new religion that will bide the kingdom together and make it stronger
And so it does
That is the story, of how religion became
If you study history without using new knowledge only to adapt it to your previous ideas, you'll realize how religion became
SOUND OF THUNDER..Started all the god stories..
Just think weather is to blame for quite a lot of things..Even the way we look..
Way back, in the beginning of history times, people were intelligent enough, before all the devolution that has set in today, to understand what God was saying when He spoke with His voice of thunder.
