Actually, what we know about consciousness makes for a very strong argument against the existence of God. Every consciousness we know of requires matter in order to exist. Thus, we have every reason to stipulate that consciousness cannot exist without matter. And what is God? He's an immaterial consciousness - something we have good reason to believe cannot exist.
