Mechanomorphism
To repudiate the existence of a mythical, wrathful Yahweh in order to accept the existence of blind determinism and blind chance seems problematic to me. To repudiate the existence of blind determinism and blind chance in order to accept the existence of a mythical, wrathful Yahweh seems problematic to me. This is why both perspectives are flawed--the atheistic one and the zealous bible-thumping one. Both have a proclivity to invoke the spirit of "mechanomorphism," or the philosophy that plainly states that reality is nothing more than a machine. Atheism achieves this invocation of the mechanomorphism spirit by taking all that is sacred, holy, and meaning-suffused out of the cosmic rulebook. Zealous religiosity achieves this by first separating the Divine from its principle and spontaneous existence in Nature, invariably creating a spurious Divine/Man dichotomy. This is why these two perspectives are complimentary when mechanomorphism is factored in. The only way to remedy this situation is by invoking a third perspective that is leaps and bounds beyond such insular, beguiled thinking. This third perspective is already accessible to some.
