I would qualify that to "some forms of monotheism." After all, pantheism is a kind of monotheism that would not suffer from this dilemma.

That said, your statement is a natural corrolary to mine. I am on the verge, really, of thinking of myself as an atheist. I'm truly not far from that; I have long described the divine presence as "potential" or "meaningful nothingness" (a.k.a. Ein Sof).
