You've arrived at a Kantian view that belief in God is justified only on moral and practical grounds, so read him if you want to validate your views. Early Hegel is also in this school.

But then what is the formal, efficient, and material cause of the universe? Seems you would have to deify the universe itself as self-creating, or bracket off the causes of the universe from your thinking, to sustain a belief in a godless world.

Hegel's dialectics started out as a theory of love, how two lovers become one whole. First you go out of yourself and give yourself to your love, negating yourself. Then you negate that self-negation and see yourself in your love together with your love as an organic whole of two parts, each part for the whole, the whole for each part. This family whole then adds children, a new part you go out of yourself and give yourself into, then you negate that negation and see yourself in and with your child together as a family whole, each for eachother as eachother.
