It's an extremely convincing premise, in that it seems to be built into us from birth. But one thing we forget is that well everything we perceive, at least beyond thoughts, is external and apparently objectively real, there is nothing, ever, that has been perceived without mind. There's nothing in the universe that we know exists without having consciously perceived its existence, or at least having had the experience of having it reported to us by someone/something else.
100% seems non-trivial enough to me to allow that mind might be intrinsic to the makeup of the universe. And if so, then either the universe itself or whatever quantity or entity that made the universe could also be mindful-- and that would be reasonably called a god.
