There is no bigot like the atheist.  Atheism is indeed the most daring of all [bigoted] dogmas … for it is the assertion of a universal negative.

There are arguments for atheism, and they do not depend, and never did depend, upon science.  They are arguable enough, as far as they go, upon a general survey of life; only it happens to be a superficial survey of life. – G. K. Chesterton
