I am asking this because I have witnessed atheists talk about the infinite and I do not believe naturalism and infinity are things that can co along.
Why not?
Why do you think that the God idea solves any philosophical issue? What about God makes infinity seem more sensible except a question-begging definition: "God is He who exists infinitely while taking an interest in finite beings" or whatever?
Here's the typical Christian argument:
C: Infinity is impossible. We need something outside of reality who is infinite, and only with Him is true infinity possible.
A: That's special pleading. If you want to say the impossible is possible, why not just attribute that "impossible" property to what we know exists?
C: Cuz. . . it's impossible.
