From our perspective the ancients prayed to God. Human is the detector, current detectors say, that there was God all the time, but with different names. "It's always the Son" (song).'God' is a relatively modern word. So was God nameless before this? Is a being defined by its label?
As for 'God does not exist' it depends entirely on how you define God, I suppose.
In one sentence you reduce discussion of God to a binary decision between monotheism and atheism. You also assume monotheism predates all else.
I think our polytheistic friends here might quibble on both counts.
God is the Name, and the Name is God. Look up video "tell me my name" (Neverending Story, final scenes).
Not, I have not violated the forum rules: monotheism and polytheism are theisms.
