If I understand what you're saying, it's that we humans have a kind of spiritual hole or gap, some sort of yearning to understand the Universe and our purpose in it, and people historically have filled it with gods. If I'm completely on the wrong track I'm sure you'll correct me.
However to continue the point as I understand it: since the development of science in ancient Greece and particularly since the Enlightenment, this god-hole has tended to be more satisfyingly filled with the things we have discovered for ourselves, the things we actually know rather than invented to fill that need. Yet there is still that primal part of our minds that looks out at the Universe and screams "Why? Why am I here and what is my purpose?"
Am I anywhere even close to what you wrote?

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
