No. It inherently reduces the beauty and complexity and the beautiful complexity of our world, of our circumstance and hazard, to a mere superstition.

If that's not also inherently dangerous, then I don't know what is.

(Example: Bush, and the media around him, blaming Hurricane Katrina on 'God', and yet looking to the same entity for guidance through its aftermath. An absolute atrocity of intellectual crisis, and epitome of a large number of people's way of thinking.)

I say inherently to combat claims that there can be a reasonable overlap between theism and atheism, between a belief in a Grand Designer and natural science. We live in an age of moderate 'political correctness', wherein we must all bend over backwards to accommodate all beliefs, in the name of multi-culturalism, more often than not at the expense of genuine scientific (and therefore human) progression. It's very dangerous.
