what exactly is the "god particle"?

so I've heard about this god particle and am wondering what it is , I am not really religious, and hope this doesn't turn into some religious argument, but i just want to know what this thing is

Nothing to do with religion. It's just a colorful nickname for the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higgs_boson" [Broken].

Sounds like a silly rumor. Again, the 'god particle' has nothing whatsoever to do with religion and finding it has nothing to do with 'proving god's existence'.

if anything, what is the higgs boson?
