Um, you are aware that every religion has referenced a great flood, right? Even geographic records demonstrate proof of this. Thanks for your post though because I know now not to read "A History of God." It was probably written by an atheist who considers himself to be a god.

False, there are religions that do not reference a flood myth.
Even geographic records demonstrate proof of this.
There are no geological records that back up the claim of a worldwide flood.

You are an idiot and a child.
It was probably written by an atheist who considers himself to be a god.
Karen Armstrong, a woman, wrote it, taking from multiple sources from within biblical anthropology and biblical archeology to describe the history of the Abrahamic religions as it is best known by the studies of professional scholars at the time of her writing it, the Dead Sea Scrolls, other old writings and artworks, an extensive cross-analysis with other historical references, and objects/structures recovered from dig sites, as well as local oral traditions, are all referenced here.
This is not "zeitgeist" hack job. You hear of what they know, why they know it, and where they got the evidence that backs their claims up.
I see that a woman who left the church and wrote a few books referencing information she says is legitimate is your end all and be all for information about God's existence, or non-existence. Yet, you offer no quotes from her books and provide no sources to discredit my statements. How professional and scholarly of you.
No evidence of a great flood? Look at photos of the desert where large rocks have soft edges. Water did that. However, here are some web links for you.
Geologic Evidences for the Genesis Flood https://answersingenesis.org/the-flood/geologic-evidences-for-the-genesis-flood/

There are several other scholarly resources, but you're free to disregard these as well.
Regarding other religions that tell of a great flood...
15 FLOOD MYTHS SIMILAR TO THE STORY OF NOAH There are so many ancient flood stories from around the world similar to the story of Noah. Actually there are not only 15 flood myths but there are hundreds! However in this post I will only be sharing 15 representatives of these (compacted) flood stories from the 5 major religions, i.e. JudeoChristianity – Islam religions, that is of course: the story of Noah, from Hindu religion and Buddhist “religion”. Then we will continue with flood myths from the representatives of the 5 “continents” i.e. Middle East (ancient Mesopotamian areas and ancient Egypt), Europe (ancient Greece and Scandinavia/Norse mythologies), MesoAmerica, Asia (ancient China), Africa and Australia/Pacific. https://www.mythoreligio.com/15-flood-myths-similar-to-the-story-of-noah-2/
If you need more references to discredit, here are two others:
