A tad extremist Strokes. Clearly scientists who get involved with philosophical and theological arguments, like Richard Dawkins, are A PAIN IN THE ASS because they don't have a clue but there are plenty of very credible people in the subject who would poke (credible) holes in any arguments put forward for the existence of God or at the very least be able to demonstrate that belief in God is not as rationally certain as you might like to think. Having said that this emphasis on rationality is misleading... rationality ultimately refutes itself when applied to metaphysical concepts. Hence Wittgenstein's assertion that rationality is nothing more than a language game and a sign to us that we should stop pretending to know we're right.

You don't need to believe in God to have a moral code.
As for us being in 'his' image... I find that concept bizarre. Why place such limitations on God?
