Religion: The God-Haters
(2 of 2)
As Maritain sees it, the betrayal of Christianity has been done chiefly by those who are perhaps the worst atheists of all—the "practical" atheists who think of themselves as Christians. Absolute atheism is merely "a translation into crude and inescapable terms, a ruthless counterpart, an avenging mirror of the practical atheism of too many believers who do not actually believe . . . Decorative Faith is nowadays not enough . . . To believe in God must mean to live in such a manner that life cannot be lived if God does not exist."
