>>>I've never said that the narrative voice is atheist<<<

Then what does this comment have to do with the passage and this discussion:

"I realise that even suggesting that atheism might be a driving force within
Pynchon's texts is tantamount to treason here, and not open for civil
discussion, but it seems to me that the possibility that a "God" or gods
don't exist is consistently excluded by some when in fact it is the basis of
belief systems held by many people across all cultures. Such intolerance
does make a mockery of claims to pluralism and respect, of course."
