Worship means what is Valued Most.
We know Worship ought to be Sacred.
Without God, Worship is not sacred.
A brief proof of 2nd premise:
Without God, we ourselves become the central focus of value, and naturally feel ashamed of what woshiping ourselves.
We should not feel ashamed of what we value most.
We should feel ashamed of worshiping ourselves and petty things like wealth, prestige, sex, etc....
Therefore we know worship out to be sacred.
The conclusion we know God exists naturally follows.
But aside from that, even if you reject that, was has been proven right from the start, there is no such thing as Atheism by definition.

I value intelligence. All you can seem to do is throw a pile of words on a page and convince yourself how great you are.
You're wrong.
Then you worship intelligence, I hope the intelligence you worship is not Dawkin's level, that would be pretty petty.
He doesn't 'worship' intelligence. Worshipping implies putting dedication towards a specific deity or has to be used in a religious context. He VALUES intelligence, which, by definition, is a important, useful and/or worthy characteristic one possess.
