“The church has contributed nothing to civilization. It has progressed somewhat, and it has become a little more decent, in reflection of the movements of civilization that have taken place outside of the church and usually in the face of the strong opposition of the church. But the church has always resisted the process of civilization. It has struggled to the last ditch, by fair means and foul, to preserve as long as it could the vestiges of ancient and medieval theology, with all the puerile moralities and harsh customs and medieval styles of belief.” MeanLittlesLongLastsFacesBeliefStrongProcessChurchTakenAtheismStyleMovementMoralityCivilizationReflectionFairsAncientTheologyPreservesDecentOppositionCustomsHarshMedievalFoul Author:E.

“There are a large number of people who can and do manage to lead decent upright lives with no use for a belief in God as a guide. Atheists do not care whether others believe as they do. They do ask, however, for the right to believe as they wish.” PeopleBelieveUseCareAsksBeliefWishNumbersAtheismAtheistGuidesManageDecentLarge NumbersBelief In God Author:Gordon Stein
