It may be a translation thing - but I doubt any native english speaker with no dog in the fight would agree with your interpretation.

well as far as my knowledge of English goes, it says that you cannot be disqualified [...] on account of your religious sentiments, as long as you are a person who "acknowledges the being of a god".
I don't acknowledge the being of a god, so it says I can, on account of my religious sentiments, be disqualified [...].

The only matter is how you can be religious, while still not acknowledging the being of a god. Well, trust me, you can. I'm a religious Pagan, but I don't actually believe in the old Germanic Gods.
