Without intelligence, the rest of the material world continue to exist, and continue to behave. But the organized perception would not exist and so truth would not exist. So truth does not exist regardless of whether god exists. Truth only exist because you exist, and truth appears to be shared only because the perceptive mechanisms of your peers are similar, and when conditioned by similar social programing, generate similar communicable artifact.
That makes truth contingent upon minds, if no perceptive mechanism exist then nothing is true.
If truth is contingent upon minds then without minds A =/= ~A would be "untrue", which is false.
