The theological question, OTOH, is really rather boring,

So your position is that God either doesn't exist or is irrelevant?

Bsically. I've seen no evidence for a Jehova-Allah sort of entity, and the way that so many different people have so many different ideas about it, to me is evidence that it's all in their minds. The compulsion so many have to try to convert others also argues for that.

This is ituitively obvious to me, and I have a suspicion that it is to everyone, bcause God-belief seems to require a whole lot of reinforcement. The way theists "attack" atheists adds to this conlusion; it's rather like the little boy saying the emperor is naked - he wan't very popular with the mob. (I'm surprised he wasn't lynched)

It's *logically* possible that there's some sort of Deist style conscious prime mover, but so far there's no evidence, and it seems to go against Occam.
