For (kind-of) Atheists

[ QUOTE ]
Generally, folk seem to have no problem when the discussion ends with the side that concludes Mathematics was invented. Yet, when we talk about Religion being invented (doesn’t matter whether is was invented or discovered for my point here) folk seem to assume “therefore it must be bogus” as the automatically logical deduction. It seems to me that whether Religion was invented or discovered has no baring on its validity (invalidity).

If mathematicians claimed that a "math god" gave them mathematics, then the debate concluded that humans invented mathematics, that would mean the claim that a "math god" gave it to them was wrong, as well as cast a lot of doubt on the existence of this "math god".
