“The defenders of godism are now shrieking against the growing number of Atheists, and there is a call to the religious world to enter upon a crusade against Atheism. The stage in which heresy meant little more than all exchange of one god for another has passed. It has become a case of acceptance or rejection of the idea of God, and the growth is with those who reject.” WorldLittlesIdeasGrowthReligiousNumbersCasesGrowingAtheismStageAcceptanceAtheistPositive AtheismRejectionRejectsHeresyDefendersCrusades Author:Chapman Cohen

“I have hitherto followed the lines marked out by the Theist in his attempt to prove that there exists a mind behind natural phenomena, and that the universe as we have it is, at least generally, an evidence of a plan designed by this mind. I have also pointed out that the only datum for such a conclusion is the universe we know. We must take that as a starting point. We can get neither behind it nor beyond it. We cannot start with God and deduce the universe from his existence; we must start with the world as we know it, and deduce God from the world.” KnowsWorldMindUniverseNaturalLinesBehindsExistencePlansAtheismProveEvidenceStartingPositive AtheismConclusionDataStarting PointTheistNatural Phenomena Author:Chapman Cohen
