I can work with that, yes that is what we would expect. The issue is, at what point in time are you justified in asserting that it is a non local cause? Throughout the history of science the purported 'unexplainable' phenomena of the world have been able to be more well understoof and explained and defined using very naturalistic and "local" explanations. When it comes to quantum randomness, how are you any more qualified to use that as a data point in your favor than the person claiming that lightning suggests a hidden reality beyond our observation?
In the case of quantum randomness you have a theorem which is accepted to be true which states quantum randomness cannot be explained by any theory of local hidden variables. You have no such theorem for lightning.
In effect science has concluded that there are events which happen, which cannot have local causes. Isn't that something atheists claim we should observe if God exists?
