Could Gods hypothetically be atheistic scientists?

I am an atheist.
Sometimes I think of hypotheticals, like if Gods were atheists too, and by Gods I mean some sort of extra smart group of scientists.
Wouldn't be so far-fetched, because as time passes atheism increases, and more scientists become atheists.
Our games are only getting better, with time.
Look at how photorealistic this 2160p 3d game scene is:
This new youtube video goes through the possibility nicely:

I think this is pretty much the perfect working example (since this guy is basically god-like in his scientific ability):
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

The infamous Rick.
Yes, I am reminded of that universe he made, just to power his car battery.

Among other shining examples of how he frequently outdoes Yahweh in his destructive proclivities.
I actually had an interesting idea for an episode; Rick and Morty wind up in an alien prison trying to break out the inmates who are being cruelly tortured and not allowed to die, and once Morty releases them against Rick's advice, it turns out, they're all the gods from various religions, and the only way Rick and Morty have to get out of there alive is to turn them against each other, which works, and none of them are left standing except one, a pacifist, whom Rick kills just for closure or something. That would be really awesome if they went with something like that.

I thought they were going in a different direction.
I remember many times, when Rick tells Morty there is no God.
But then again, there was that get schwifty episode.

Just a thought. There could be a reality in which that is the case, what with all the infinite multiverse to explore.
