I did read it in context. The confusion was over which idea the pronoun "that" refers to.
I read it as two completely separate statements: "I don't believe in pretending to know the mind of God. If you believe in a god, that [[believing in a god]] is just plain arrogant."
After re-reading, what I presume you meant was: "I don't believe in pretending to know the mind of God. If you believe in a god, that [[pretending to know the mind of God]] is just plain arrogant."
