No. First of all, science and atheism have no relation to one another. Second, the name "god particle" is missing one little word. Namely "damned". It was in a book, and the writer wanted to write "god damned particle", because it was so god damned hard to find. The publisher or editor or whomever, decided to remove that word. The name of the particle is "Higgs boson".
And FYI: don't go babbling on about science you don't understand just because you read it in the interwebz. Collisions like this happen every single day, at a rate much higher than the LHC could ever produce, and with energies far greater than it can muster. Ever heard of the sun? That giant ball of plasma, representing about 98% of the mass of the entire solar system? Yeah, that thing spits out particle radiation that would kill you in seconds without protection (such as the Earth's magnetosphere), and those particles are much more energetic than the ones used in the LHC, which represents a tiny fraction of the mass of the Earth, and an irrelevant fraction of the mass of the solar system. Those particles also react the same way that they do in the LHC, but with a lot more interference in the upper layers of the atmosphere. In the LHC, we got two protons colliding a while ago. Since then, more protons have collided with our upper atmosphere than all the particles used in accelerators on Earth since the first accelerator was ever turned on. If those reactions were catastrophically dangerous, we'd never have been born, because the sun has been here for about as long as the Earth itself, spitting out oodles of radiation since it first started fusion reaction.
The truth is absolute. Life forms are specks of specks (...) of specks of dust in the universe.
Why settle for normal, when you can be so much more? Why settle for something, when you can have everything?
