I do, i. Hawkins has said that a god is not required, and based upon what we know so far, if there were a god, it could only be described as inept or malicious.
But when you simply accept nature and reality as being the crap shoot it is, you are not bogged down with the infinite regress a god claim causes.
I would hate to think any of the traditional magic wand deities exist, and a generic deist one for that matter.
There are so many problems with this concept as a claim. Scientifically alone that people claim this is a "outer world" being we cant detect, and morally that it starts all this inefficiency and cruelty and has the power to stop it, but doesn't, not that it had to start any of this in the first place.
I don't want to think of myself as a lab rat or toy. And slap any label on a non material being and you still have a naked assertion.
