Ironically, an individual who uses language to identify with and articulate a particular sub-category of human belief systems (i.e. atheism), is attempting to impose order in an indescribable universe.
It depends on your definitions. Religion puts nonexistent intentionality into the system by adding a diety. Science explains the existing system using the language of mathematics.
Except science doesn’t explain the existing system. Science is the process of converting observations into language and indentifying reliable repeating patterns. It does not explain why.
be based on a limited perspective and at best incomplete,
be in the form of language which is only a representation of the real thing,
only describe the mechanics of existence and would not answer the essential ‘why’.
Existence is indescribable. The best description of life would be a non-verbal and direct felt experience, not words. Language providedes structured communication between perceptions, in other words: control and order.
Why are we assuming there is a why to the universe? Most of us don’t look at natural phenomena and truly wonder why. We may use that word erroneously but what is being wondered is “how”.

Some of it is very describable.
