I too conclude as much. I used to be christian until I read revelatians and realized it was classic mafia racketeering. I went full bore after discovering Conway's Game of Life, that it was Turing complete (and what that means), then Stephen Wolfram and his principle of computational equivalence. I can see exactly how I am a living computational program encoded and processed in a 3D particle automaton, I can see how from a few simple rules, simple systems, you get complex behavior no less complex than the Intel sitting on your desk can produce. When I read revelations, I felt god was an egomaniac if he actually cared for humanity at all. The perfection of the clockwork universe contrasts with the imperfection of the human spiritual and material conditions. Such a god is a bastard for punishing you for doing what you were destined to do by his very design for you. Satan is a far less cruel master. However, if no such monster exists in reality and we are the beautiful emergent results of natural computational systems, nature and the world become beautiful again. No longer is it a frail imperfect creation but instead a beautiful floral tapestry.
