Pardon the cut in your informative post, but I wanted to remark on just that bit.
As a militant atheist and lifetimer, I am quite sympathetic towards the idea of a cosmic creator, especially something of the god of Einstein or Spinoza. The more anthropomorphic this postulated Cosmic mind become the more dubious I become about it and, when it comes down to particular religions and their personal gods, I say: '"Do not exist". Just as I would say of Unicorns and Santa and indeed the Flying Spaghetti Monster which, under the 'If you can imagine it, it must exist' ontological argument, is as likely as any of the others.
So, while you come across as an irreligious theist, you and I are certainly on the same page as regards the god - claim, and I would consider you 'brethren'.
