A temple for the worship of science will open later this month in Berkeley, California.

Conceived by artist Jonathon Keats -- designer of the petri dish God -- the Atheon is supposed to "provide a spiritual home for rational people," allowing atheists to nourish regions of the soul typically satisfied by religion.

"The leading minds believe that science can and should provide a spiritually satisfying replacement," said Keats in a press release. "But until recently no one bothered to consider what form that alternative might take."
