ABSTRACT
For all that the Covid-19-pandemic has and will make humanity do, what it has achieved distinctly is this – it has rendered the planet spectacularly godless. We are in the midst of an unprecedented wave of atheism. Places of worship have shut down; messengers of God are entirely out of business. Scientists, doctors, and nurses are our everyday messiahs, doing what Gods do had they existed – put themselves at risk to save humanity. It is the perfect time to contemplate not how God arrives (or leaves) but how profoundly godless our world is.
