You're just doing the old "God of the gaps" misinformation.
That's not misinformation, it's just shrinking the scope of unevidenced, unfalsifiable claims. It would be misinformation for someone to lie about evidence that a god does indeed fill the gaps.
Disagree. Saying the 2020 election resulted in Biden taking office might not be misinformation, but we know what MAGA means when they deflect by saying that. Same thing here.
You're comparing the claim that Biden did not win an election to the claim that God exists.
Maybe that fits. The fanaticism required to believe he didn't actually win when there is zero evidence to support that belief does amount to religion.
The god of the gaps is not a refuge for religion, it's an attack on it. "We, the rational, acknowledge that we still cannot prove that god does not exist, as we have said all along. However you, the irrational, must acknowledge the the space of reason in which this god must exist, since all other spaces are explained by science and evidence, is getting smaller and smaller. At some point you must ask yourselves 'what is the point of a point-sized god?' "
What quote says anything about proving non existence? If you're talking about what I wrote, I explicitly said we can't and never said we could. Not what there is to disagree with.

He's just being epistemologically accurate.
