Here's a law for you, from Texas:
"
No religious test shall ever be required
as a qualification to any office, or public trust, in this State; nor shall any one be excluded from holding office on account of his religious sentiments,
provided he acknowledge the existence of a Supreme Being
."
But this is no surprise since it's from teh same state where it's a law that "When two trains meet each other at a railroad crossing, each shall come to a full stop, and neither shall proceed until the other has gone."
We must not be hard an Texas legislators. They are clearly mentally handicapped.
*cough* look at who they had as a governor.

No folly. It's a mere matter of semantics. All one need do is recognize that -being- is merely something in existence, and -supreme- is greatest, utmost, extreme. So as a materialist, all one has to say is that one acknowledges existence of the natural universe. So there you go.

Don't forget Arkansas law The Arkansas legislature passed a law that states that the Arkansas River can rise no higher than to the Main Street bridge in Little Rock
PUKE! Look who Arkansas had as govenor. See how dumb you guys are.
(skip this paragraph, it has only indirect reasoning on the question)
One of my recent subjects for challenge is "string theory" , I believe the answer must lie with both bosonic and fermion particles to have success. Funding has stopped any progress for what is thought to last around ten years. (This is the time expected for theorists to reach a conclusion.) So, we have a theory of everything based on quarks!
That being the "matter" question answered , my slant on this subject is to ask , is the "mind" or conscience, merely a resonance of synapses or does it have "its own " entity, as in the belief that God controls the mind or conscience by implanting thoughts or reasons for our body`s voluntary reaction. This is a difficult question to answer as there almost no impartial studies on the subject. All of the study that I have seen lends itself to either politics, religion or pure science.
So, what do you think :-} , or do you? (think that is) Would knowing what our mind/conscience is, be the answer to Why are we here?
Is it really necessary for there to be a reason we are here?

Yes, we are here to worship magical beings without evidence of their existence, you got a problem with that?
