I take issue with only one part of your explanation, James. Reason alone, is not sufficient to elevate to "Godhood". That reason must be tempered by morals, or, if you will, ethics.
Reason, after all, led to the holocaust. Hitler reasoned everything he did, as does Osama, Obama, and even Achmadinijad (spelling butchery, I know). Reason untempered can be extremely dangerous, and if you want to apply god status to it, well, some people worship evil, too.
Sophistry is also reason, taken to extremes.
