Is there logic, and has any theory been written around the idea that God, in the context of religion is a scapegoat or rather an excuse for the shortcomings of human behavior?

When someone says, for example when a natural disaster occurs and people die that, "God has a plan," rather than, "We should have done a better job building that building or evacuating that population, and we knew this was vulnerable but we didn't want to spend the money needed to do it right." By convincing people that God did this for a reason we can't possibly understand, we place the blame elsewhere for what could have been preventable.

In *The Essence of Christianity*, Ludwig Feuerbach advanced the view that God is an outward projection of a human's inward nature.

>  God is for man the commonplace book where he registers his highest feelings and thoughts, the genealogical album into which he enters the names of the things most dear and sacred to him. (pg. 66 of the Barnes & Noble version)

So, in your example, God acts as the projection of man's own ideal of omniscience which man self-consciously recognizes is a limitation for man in general. Feuerbach also discusses how an individual can project their individual limitations to be limitations of man as a species, which ties into the kind of thought process you're thinking of, i.e. "We didn't anticipate this, and therefore no human could have anticipated this - only God could."
