Do you think that would've sufficed?
Making a case or even proving that Jesus is not God, does not prove that there is no God. Further, there are also Deists that believe god created the Universe, gave it natural laws, and then left it to function on it's own. It's fair to say that if God existed we'd have found indisputable evidence of his interactions by now. However, don't you think limiting it to the last 2000 years in a universe that 14.x Billion is a somewhat narrow focus?

I'm not sure how you can say with confidence that no god(s) exist when many, like Pascal, recognize that if God exists, he is ineffable. If your merely confident the Christian God does not exist, then you may be justified in your strong belief God does not exist, but if your certain all god(s) including the Deist ones do not exist, it seems you have a burden of proof to meet.
