There is a loop hole though. If you are a determined theist you can always say that such and such brain activities are the results of God 'working through nature', inducing the psychological states that result in religiosity.
There is always this 'loop hole' for those who insist on inserting a God in the background. In that case of course God would be a completely useless concept, but strictly speaking you still can't prove its non existence. Einstein didn't prove that the aether doesn't exist, only that you can do (better) without it. :)
