The latter elevates a moving piece of dirt to the “highest” form of life in the perceived universe, after all.

Haha, and that's not a caricature? How does saying "I don't think God writes books" translate into "moving piece of dirt to the “highest” form of life in the perceived universe".

Let me put it this way.

There are thousands of holy books in the world. You believe that they are all frauds, except one.

I just believe they're all frauds. They're ALL written by man.

What's more likely? That a loving God inspired all of his people in only one book, and the rest are deceived? Or that it's all man made?

I know where I stand.

It’s not a caricature. I have read multifarious claims that humanity is the highest known form of life in the context of the atheistic belief, and I sure would like to know just how that can be construed as humility.

I didn’t see any phrase resembling “God writes books” on this thread; I must have missed it.

What’s more likely? That a loving God inspired all of his people in only one book, and the rest are deceived? Or that it’s all man made?
They are actually equally likely, whether that is your only two choices or not. To definitely exclude one possibility without definite proof is a narrow-minded approach, with all due respect.
