All,
The question of whether God exists is meaningless without first
giving some definition of what is meant by God, of how God is

If you need a God there is only one possible rational definition and
that is to just define God as the universe itself.
Do you mean the "physical universe"? That is an Aristotelian God.
I am agnostic, but if computationalism is true, that God does not exist.
First there is now absolute certainty that God does exist (all the
interminable meaningless arguments vanish),
?
I disagree. You need faith for that God too.
and second his attributes now become the proper subject matter of
science and reason rather than ideology, faith or myth.
Not at all. Are you aware of the first peson indeterminacy? and the
consequences?
But most certainly the dogmas of all the organized religions are all
atavistic myths in the same category as Zeus and Odin which, like
them, should have been discarded millennia ago....
Yes, they are fairy tales. But with comp, a primitive physical
universe is also a sort of "fairy tale", or at least it is only a
simplifying hypothesis, which today is arguably contradicted by some
facts and it is also logically incompatible with the comp theory and
Occam.
