I don't get the point of the Clockmaker hypothesis; surely if He is not meddling in current affairs, it doesn't make any difference whether you believe in him or not. It's just atheism with an anthropomorphised Big Bang.

Not necessarily. I mean, I'd say the single act of creating the universe is enough in itself for eternal thanks. For example, I personally just don't believe in divine intervention, but I would like to think that some sort of higher power kicked off this whole mess.
Arrogant as it is to pretend to know God's will, it is my belief that He wouldn't interfere with human affairs simply because He gave us free will. In other words, He wants us to make our own decisions, and divine intervention would essentially negate the point of free will, chance, and the consequences of our actions. At least, that's my opinion.

But then, of course, you get into the whole "God is dead" thing... and I really don't even want to touch that.
