That is existentially shallow, we make our interpretations of God just as we realistically make our own interpretations of reality. However, your explanation doesn't solve any of the mysteries of real life. Science is an observation of the mechanisms of nature, not the source. It is the how, not the why or the where did it come from. Further, there are as many gaps and holes in the current atheistic cosmology as those of any good Catholic, so who is kidding who here? At least religious folks are content to say God is Mystery, rather than dismiss the concept of the Divine entirely. Something had to create all of this, even according to the Big Bang, how did all that originally condensed matter and energy originate in the first place? Ah, right caps and holes. Theology is simply to assert something higher or beyond our understanding is personally responsible for reality. This is called God, and as you've mentioned, many folks anthropomorphize conceptions of God by their own individual interpretations, and indeed invent aspects of God. However and again, this shouldn't suggest the Divine doesn't exist outright, that would be scientifically foolish, let alone a terrible bet to place on Pascal's wager.
