Just because you call it "not god" and imply lack of intention doesn't mean your beliefs are any less religious than anyone else's. Your religion does answer both the "why" and "how" of creation. Your relgion states: Why was everything created? No reason. How was everything created? Through a series of natural processes. Just as my religion states: Why was everything created? God wanted to create it. How was everything created? It was spoken into existance by God. Your religion is still a religion and it still answers why things were created.
Except it's factually straight up not. It also doesn't even ask "why" in the first place to have said "no reason". It's all about the facts and "how".
What you fail to realize is that science isn't a belief system. It's just observation. The second it discovered your god to exist, your god's existence would be part of science. The same goes for proving any other religion to be true. It's a totally separate thing from religion. It's just what we've factually observed.
By the way, mainstream science doesn't claim everything necessarily came from nothing. We assert that the Big Bang is the earliest event we have hard evidence of occuring. If the Big Bang sprang from nothing, a prior gravitational singularity in this universe, or another universe, we don't yet know for sure. We can speculate but we don't fill in blanks because, again, it's not a belief system; it's an observational system. If tomorrow we observe concrete evidence that a flying spaghetti monster created the universe, it'll be considered a scientific fact that it did. The same goes for your god.
Science doesn't believe things; it only knows things or doesn't yet know them.
Your religion does things no differently than any other religion. It insists that all the other religions are wrong and that it is correct. What you're referring to here is not atheism; it is agnosticism. Atheism is the belief that there is no god, and just like all other religions, it insists upon this. Agnosticism is the belief that there may be a god, and does not insist upon an existance, or lack of existance, of a god. Agnosticism is not a religion; atheism is.
Atheists, what are your views on religion in general?
