Doesn't have anything to do with whether or not I like it - there actually is a difference between religious beliefs and the body of superstition that a given religion might accrue which surround those beliefs.

Dude. A theist will use fine-tuning as a reason to say that the universe is intelligently designed. A theist will also say that God was the prime mover.
Both answers, answer something which science can’t prove but science is used in our case to make an educated guess.
Philosophers use other scientific facts based on quantum mechanics to say that we live in a multiverse or a simulation.

Why are you so confused about this?

Anyone can use science, no one should get a pass on borrowing science’s good name to advocate nonsense.
Understood. You’re a true atheist and don’t allow yourself to ask “why”. Some other people like to ask “why”.


No, the Other people you mention, you amongst them no doubt, don’t “like” to ask “why”,  what they like is an comfortable but nonsensical answer that stops more fundamental and more penetrating questions.   

or if those answers are available, shout them down so as to preserve in their own minds a nonsensical world view their childish psychology depends on for an infantile perception of security.
