I feel that lovecraftian thinking is a natural, horrifying consequence of Atheism. If the universe is unguided and random, there is no creator God to order things rationally, things aroynd us seem rational to us, but that is purely an accident. Why wouldn't there be beings other than us? And why wouldn't those beings, having had an almost infinite time to evolve and grow, be orders of magnitude greater than us and utterly incomprehensible? I trust, in part because the universe IS ordered and structured that there is one, benevolent God, but for an Athiest like lovecraft, something else could naturally fill that gap.

An apocryphal part of the Bible mentions something similar, in which king David heard of a temple in which priests of Baal had people offer food sacrifices to the idols of Baal, then, later, the food would be gone and the Baalist priests saud the idols ate thd food. The story goes that David had flour secretly scattered on the temple floor when it was dark after the sacrifices were offered, and when the temple was opened again and the lights lit, the footprints of the Baalist priests were visible and it was clear the priests, not the Idols, had eaten the food.
Now, its apocryphal, and probably only recorded long after the time, but maybe it represents a real phenomenon.
