There is no atheistic cosmology
there is no real organized atheistic belief, because atheism is the absolute lack of faith in things unproven.
Lack of wetness is not wetness. Lack of belief is not belief.
science allows for doubt, religions do not. science allolws for self-correction. religions do not
hebrews still essentially believe the same shit that they did 4000 years ago.
to me that is the ultimate in self-stupidity.

By atheistic cosmology I am being quite literal, the current theories of physics and mechanics are by definition an atheistic cosmology. Again, I agree, many "religious" folks have invented their own interpretations of God, but that shouldn't somehow limit or prohibit the concept of the Divine, even if many folks have many misconceptions. If you think religions don't allow for doubt, you've never really explored the depths of religion. Religion is plagued by doubts, its kind of the point, it provokes questions, and asking questions can often stumble onto answers.
You are free to scoff various cultures and organized institutional religions, but to be so caustic towards the concept of Divine seems all the more self-stupid
