As atheists, we simply deny the assumptions of theism; we declare that the God idea, in all its features, is unreasonable and unprovable; we add, more vitally, that the God idea is an interference with the interests of human happiness and progress. We oppose religion not merely as a set of theological ideas; but we must also oppose religion as a political, social and moral influence detrimental to the welfare of humanity.”

“It is the antagonism of the dogmatic world, and the apathy of the rest, that is the cause of the mental progress of the world’s not keeping pace with the material progress.Better still, the universal application of the material progress has been far in advance of the universal acceptance of mental achievement. The automobile, the gigantic ocean liner, the talking machine, the electric fan, the elevator, the telephone and the other marvelous achievements of man are being used by the greater portion of the people, whose mental status belongs to the wheelbarrow, the simple chair, the ox cart and the tallow candle.Slight is the realization by the users and beneficiaries of science’s modern methods, of the heroic struggles and battles that the great men and women of the past suffered to make possible these accomplishments.Oh, how many suffered torture and death at the hands of the very people they were striving to benefit!”
