I'm not religious, I'm not against atheism, but I think it's unfortunate that math and science have become so strongly associated with atheism. We tend to forget that many of the most influential scientists and mathematicians were mystics who had experiences similar to Matt's (Pythagoras and Newton being two prominent examples).

Some people need these transcendent experiences or else their lives feel empty. Nothing wrong with finding it through math or science instead of organized religion.
