Is Consciousness external to central nervous systems?

Is Consciousness external to central nervous systems?
Below is a link to a paper I wrote detailing the reasons I believe consciousness exists external to central nervous systems. I realize atheists may have a problem with this notion but I don't understand why.

Even if consciousness is external to the CNS, that doesn't mean God exists, certainly not in the religious sense, anyway. However, it may imply that humans and animals are more than just dirt, and I know atheists hate the idea of that.

At any rate, here is my paper. It's short and easy to read. And if you have any comments on it, I'd love to read them.
