Much of the argument focuses on the thesis of the causal closure or completeness of nature that most scientists, philosophers, and theologians accept. I argue that the consequences of this thesis are devastating for religion, making it ontologically and epistemologically dispensable. But I show how, in fact, contemporary sciences support a conception of the natural world as much more causally open, on which religion should be empirically structured.
