Anyone who thinks Atheism is a religion fundamentally misunderstands both atheism and religion. Who the hell is this DeStefano guy anyway? Should I count myself lucky that I never heard of him before this?

I was having a discussion recently with My Son the Astronomer about the Big Bang. We briefly touched on the fact that astronomers make no claims whatsoever about what might have preceded the Big Bang, or what might have caused it. We also briefly discussed the God Hypothesis. Maybe God got everything started, but he's certainly been an absentee landlord in the billions of years since.
