I'd wager that most atheists assume that God is very much a "created thing", which makes that quote feel pretty awkward.

- aasasd 7y agoI vaguely heard some theories that in the absence of better explanations, humans gravitate to attributing weird phenomenons to divine will. Not sure if this is in any way scientific. Inventing forest spirits seems to come pretty naturally by anthropomorphizing a variety of things, but I guess it gets complicated when dealing with lightning and such, and the deities evolve accordingly. Afaik neuroscience also can induce ‘divine’ experience by applying current in a proper place.
- LessDmesg 7y agoNo, some atheists may allow for existence of an uncreated creator God. It's just that this hypothesis is so inconclusive, unprovable and uninteresting that most atheists don't opt to pursue it (or disprove it for that matter). Assume there is a God or even The God - then what? We've no way of knowing anything about it.
