Their party line or dogma can be religious or antireligious, thats honestly just a nuance. Usually this elite can get their sycophantic followers to believe any old thing. Right now its cool to be against believing in a Creator before it was the other way around. I believe this priesthood 'gets off' on making absurd statements and watching how people who like to associate themselves with the in crowd, instantaneously regurgitate it as if it is firmly established and universally accepted. Outside of this on the fringes of any elite governed society are people who occupy themselves with attempting to contemplate the truth. All through history these great men Einstein, Feynman, Newton........on whose shoulders we all stand, were wise enough to understand the natural limits of their minds. They understood that some questions where not even approachable with man imposed limits of scientific inquiry. I believe they would find foolish anyone who devoted their time to proving something that unprovable Every generation has its ‘priesthood’ or ‘elites’.

Since your story starts before time and space began I kinda think it's a hidden time. I like to keep to a premise. If no things existed before that singularity, then it couldnt be a teeny weenie little speck. It would be a huge speck. Since there hadn't been anything there before it would have to be the largest thing to relate to. Later on in retrospect it was small. It's all that relativity stuff. It has more to do with the perspective you have, based on what time it was. Before was hidden time. The first instant of the singularity was gigantic. The moment after the inflationary period, the universe looked small before. Looking back now it was infinitesimal. It's just a matter of perspective.
