In a way, I am responding to an earlier comment about how "hard" scientists were more likely to be atheists.
As a student of economics, I have to protest:
You can't stare at a graph explaining the relationship between monetary mass, interest rates and inflation for very long without losing sight of what exactly this "God" concept is supposed to represent.
Mathematics is so pretty. So pristine and pure...
Bonus question: Do you think this has anything to do with why some Islamic countries banned chess?
They didn't ban chess everywhere, but it occured from time to time (Christians did too, by the way). Taliban Afghanistan was one in a long list of chess-banning societies.
