"So, it's the big bang theory for you?"

How does that follow? Not believing in deities does not necessarily mean that one accepts any particular cosmological theory.

So far, the math behind the big bang theory seems fairly sound. It's still being explored, however.

In reality, what happened many billions of years ago is of little interest to me, except as an odd bit of information. I am involved with the world as it is today, not as it was at the time of the universe's formation.

You are thinking narrowly here and apparently have a mistaken impression of what an atheist is. Atheism is not a church. Atheists do not necessarily share any points of view other than a disbelief in deities and other supernatural entities. Past that point, there's nothing particular in common among them.

But, this is way off-topic for this thread. If you'd like to begin some sort of thread on atheism, I'll be happy to participate, but it will probably end up in the Chat area, since it has nothing to do with the news.
