The non-existence of God is not logically entailed by either of those two propositions.
The following three propositions form a consistent set, i.e., it's logically possible that they could all be true simultaneously:
"The universe shows no evidence for God"
"The universe looks exactly as it would be expected to look if there is no God"
"God exists"
There's nothing Catholic or fundamentalist about it. The first two propositions do not entail the falsity of the third.
