I am not even an atheist so much as I am an antitheist;
“I am not even an atheist so much as I am an
antitheist; I not only maintain that all religions are versions of the
same untruth, but I hold that the influence of churches, and the effect
of religious belief is positively harmful. Reviewing the false claims of
religion, I do not wish, as some sentimental materialists affect to
wish, that they were true. I do not envy believers their faith. I am
relieved to think that the whole story is a sinister fairy tale; life
would be miserable if what the faithful affirmed was actually the case.”
