In the present paper, we discuss the origins of ancient Greek theology and atheism in relation to geometry, chance and the scientific method. We consider the theology of Plato, Aristotle and Pythagoreans a consequence of logical necessity and not primitive worshipping of heavenly bodies. We claim that the whirl based astronomical models of Anaxagoras and Democritus were influenced by their materialistic philosophy enough to force them to accept the least likely explanation for the motion of the planets and the Sun with the best knowledge of their time. We compare their approach with that of modern scientists like G. Kirchhoff to demonstrate the difference in use of probabilistic reasoning in scientific conjecturing. Thus, our main thesis is that the atheism of Democritus and Anaxagoras lead in some cases to unscientific hypotheses and models, which slowed down and prevented research in that field.
