Sure seems like the appropriately miserly assumption to make to me too. I wonder though if a theist is just duty bound to see it as radiating divine intention.
A philosopher is duty-bound to apply the Principle of Sufficient reason rather than arbitrarily take some things a mere brute facts. IMHO the atheist asserts that there is nothing behind the curtain because he fears there might be.
