If Spinoza thought there's 'something out there,' then clearly he isn't an atheist.  On the other hand, I think the idea of a God that doesn't know He exists is self-defeating, as someone who accepts the notion of a God that possesses all knowledge.  So after thinking about it, I suppose Spinoza's position, while respectable, encounters many problems, like the ones you mentioned.  So I'll agree with you that if there exists something equal to God, then the original belief in God makes very little practical sense, at least from a monotheistic viewpoint.
