How does this not apply to your view of god?

It's like the blind leading the blind : Your assumption that you know something leads you to believe that you know, and so on. I wouldn't quite call it arrogance as it is based more on blindness than anything else. The same applies to the majority in the scientific community (read : clique).
I wouldn't call atheists so much 'blind' as 'not deluded.'
We don't see certain things because they're not there. They never were.
The difference between people see god in the world and the people who don't (read: us) is because we don't delude ourselves by assuming god is there. We demand proof. Evidence.
And every "theory" that involves god always involves some impact on the world that would have evidence when there is none and never has been any.
