Utter nonsense. Your argument is that because you can imagine a god and spread the idea they are real. The logical conclusion there is that anything you can imagine is equally real. Bigfoot really is wandering around a forest, spaghetti absolutely does grow in trees, and the moon landing was definitely on a sound stage (but they also really landed on the moon because I can picture that too).

You could say the same of Mickey Mouse or the Philly Fanatic. Which is, in fairness, where this is ultimately going.

A god as a timeless enlightened super-being might not be real. But a god as an ideological mascot or cultural touchstone is.
