How would that even work?
P.S. It's not a lack it's an absence. It's atheism that is lacking. We need more of it.

Well, when you say it like that, I have some sympathy. Where you see insufficient evidence, I see the concepts required for rational thought to be possible.
No supernatural mind is required for concepts that make rational thought possible.
Know what you need for concepts that make rational thought possible? Minds. No supernaturalness required.
As the story of LaPlace and Napoleon goes (Bonaparte that is: Not the dickhead on these forums):
No God Required.
