The idea of a "god" has existed in the minds of almost all people in the world for all of known history. There might be something to that. Your "god is dead" comment is overly dramatic and honestly its sounds like you heard that in a movie and thought it was deep and are now regurgitating it. I'd urge you to take a second and to try and distance yourself from the narrow idea of a god that falls under religion.
There are a lot of valid and very interesting arguments against the existence of God but the points that you're making are... well... really not points at all. You're still stuck on the religion thing. The bible is just a book written by people. We are a tiny spec of dirt, in a tiny puff of dust in an unimaginably large universe (which might only be one of infinite others) existing in only 3(or 4 depending on how you look at it) dimensions (of a hypothesized 11 possible dimensions). I doubt any god would ever have any interest in micromanaging one of those little specs of dust, but my idea of God doesn't operate or think or exists as if it is some thing separate from you and I.
In my opinion, God isn't some thing, it is everything.
In my opinion, God is nothing. We can throw opinions at each other all day, and switching opinions will surely determine whether God exists or not.
EDIT: "God is Dead" is from German philosopher Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, for reference.
