Precisely.
Now, to answer the obvious question: yes, I'm aware that this doesn't prove that no deities exist. I never said that it did, and it isn't meant to. It simply points out that we can conclude that specific deities with defined characteristics - such as Ra, Zeus, and yes, even the Abrahamic God defined in the Bible - do not exist.
