Besides, even if you could prove that God was innate in our consciousness(which you can't), it would prove nothing more than human beings are hardwired to assign agency to the world around us. The ubiquity of a belief says nothing about its veracity.
This is just another smoke and mirror attempt to distract people from the fact that theists are no closer to proving god's existence than they were 6,000 years ago.
“Human beings are hardwired to assign agency to the world” and the ubiquitous concept of God are in fact evidences in themselves for the innate idea of God.
The concept of God was always there and it will not die in whatsoever circumstances. However, what way one choses to approach God or if someone totally rejects the existence of God, that is a different story.
