Strange that an atheist would refer to his particle using the adjective "God".
If he doesn't believe in the existence of God then is he also saying his particle doesn't exist?

  I think it's one of those paradoxes, like saying, "Thank God I'm an atheist".

  Einstein used the word 'God' on occasion, usually in reference to something 'ultimate'. The search is for a particle that may unify theoretical physics. 'God' in this sense designates something really, really important.
  In short, if scientists find the 'God' particle, it doesn't mean God exists. Sorry.
