True, but it is not visible radiation. Therefore it is not light.

Of course, proof of the Big Bang would just about be the end for God.
No, you can't really say that. There is always the possibility, however remote, that some god started the whole shebang. But it would kill the myth of the biblical creation (as though that needs any more killing) and would relegate the Judeo/Christian/Islamic version of God to the fairy tale scrap heap where he belongs.
