The concept and mathematical use of zero is something that took thousands of years to be accepted as valid by the human race. The concept of nothing being a real and logical value to be used like anything else is not intuitive. Math itself needed to advance to the point where zero was needed to solve increasingly complex problems in order for its acceptance to solidify.
Similarly, the concept of no god may need to take a similar path before our species fully accepts it. It has a late start compared to zero, but the concept of a deity-free universe (or multiverse) is gaining hold. Those who don't see it as possible are digging in their heels, but we are facing problems that can't be solved if people believe a deity is in the mix somewhere directing things. Our universe only makes sense if deities are removed.
