Hawking is on the Pontifical Academy of Sciences list isn't he ?

I mean, once you're there you've made it, right ?

Ed's there. Is Higgs ?

Higgs is a rampant atheist. He wasn't impressed by the Higg's boson being referred to as the God particle.

Obviously the Pope needs to be careful in appointing out of control atheists. Probably explains why Dawkins isn't a member either.
