I do feel castman's opinion. Humans need a leader, a higher-power to give them motivation, a sense of protection and something to run to or appeal when we feel we have been abused or treated unjustly.
So wether or not God exists as a being or creator, or wether it is just that we are in many instances God's creators (see this thread), the most important thing is the idea and it's application. For example, humans are natively hedonistic, but belief in a God or deity should provide an incentive to be ethical-hedonistic.
Sadly, deism has back-fired all too often: It becomes a guise for violence, selfishness and tyranny. Yet it is wrong to say: "religion causes trouble". That is like saying "Germans are NAZIs", "Muslims are terrorists", "Americans are ignorant" or "Negroids are violent" - all erroneous generalizations. Indeed, most of the great discoverers, explorers, inventors and scientists were Deists or at least Agnostics.
Regarding "Temporal Nullification", an absence of measurement/ definition does not prove non-existense. Just because you cannot comprehend time does not mean that the dimension of time ceases to exist, except to yourself. Even if you were to slay anyone who believed in time and destroyed all measures of time, you could not A.) destroy the idea of time - that you attacked it represents your' acknowledgement of it. B.) Stop time from occuring - You will still get old, metal will still rust.
This is also why the reasoning behind jihad or stating that god or the big-bang theory is wrong is anomalous: an opinion or idea cannot be wrong; merely unsupportable, contradictary or out-landish.
