To call the universe godless is to default to God first, then to deny its existence. This is the same ploy believers use when they ask, “do you believe in God?”

The “problem” begins with the creation of words like god and unicorn. These words stand for the things which do not have physical existence but have only verbal existence. It is existent people who talk about non-existent gods and unicorns. Without people (beings) there is no such talk.
