While these are brilliant theories, you cannot disprove God psychologically. Because you reach this, unproveable conundrum
1. God doesn't exist, and we want to believe in him.
2. God does exist, and we don't want to believe in him.
So the thing is to discover the truth. Does God really exist? For example, If a tree falls in a forest with noone around, does it still make a sound? Of course it does. Due to the true laws of science, a sound is the result of when two objects collide with each other. So according to what is true, it will make a sound, because we know that science works. How to discover the truth of whether God really exists or not, regardless of our psychological circumstance, is the tricky bit I suppose...
