A short little essay on religion and mystery

"You atheists want to take all of the mystery out of the Universe" is an accusation with which atheists are quite familiar. This is typical religious bullshit.

An atheist believes what science believes, which is that the universe simply exploded into being. This is now what most of the more intelligent and aware religious people believe as well, except that they add that there must be an explanation for this and that this explanation is that God made the universe.

By contrast, the atheist embraces the mystery and leaves it as is, an event without known explanation.

You religious people want to take all of the mystery out of the universe!
