Yes! In that Greek time, philosophy and mathematics were actually the same thing because they are both composed of just logical deductions. That's funny that you mention the idea of infinity too because the Greeks couldn't grasp infinity. They had such strong ideas of dualism and infinity really has no counterpart. (I studied math in college)

Brian Greene, a famous researcher in string theory, was asked whether or not he believed in God. It was a question which set him aback because he has come to this conference to discuss physics. He paused then responded, "I don't believe in God per se. I do believe that there is a natural logical structure in the universe." I think I bounced in my seat, thinking, "Yes! That's God!"

I think most (esp. American) atheists call themselves that because they can't accept the popular image of God, which for many of Christian backgrounds is that white guy on the Sistine Chapel. At least, that was my standpoint before learning about other world religions.
