For an example of monism, see The Force in Star Wars: a sacred reality which is capable of creation but is not a God.

I see no reason for trouble. The list of atheist religions is long. This list includes, but is not limited to:

Philosophical Daoism
Indian Buddhism
Advaita Vedanta Hinduism
traditional Sioux metaphysics
Ojibwa metaphysics

Anyone who attacks or supports religion solely on the concept of God misses this fact that there are many atheist religions.

Nope.

Several religions, Daoism being one of them, talk about creation as an impersonal process. They describe creation as a natural unfolding of the universe without a creator God getting involved at all. For example, we can talk about the big bang as a sacred event which created a sacred universe, but creation in this case would happen through atomic processes, not the activities of a supreme being.

Thus it is perfectly possible to have creation without a creator.
