If matter and spacetime do not actually exist, then God must. That much seems certain, though which God we are talking about is arguable. If you have a reasonable alternative, then name it.
I don't see the must.
Also, you may be conflating the illusion of matter and spacetime with them not existing.
I was responding to Spearthrower's point that it may be possible that neither matter/spacetime or God(s) actually exist, but a rational alternative is inconceivable, so it must be one or the other. Hence: "If matter and spacetime do not actually exist, then God must." [is logical].
I'm all ears if you want to discuss those rational alternatives.
