If one believes in a god, one is a Theist. If one does not believe in a god, then one is an A-theist – he is without that belief. The distinction between atheism and theism is entirely, exclusively, that of whether one has or has not a belief in God.Chapman Cohen

ATHEIST is really a thoroughly honest, unambiguous term, it admits of no paltering and no evasion, and the need of the world, now as ever, is for clear-cut issues and unambiguous speech.Chapman Cohen

Gods are fragile things, they may be killed by a whiff of science or a dose of common sense. They thrive on servility and shrink before independence. They feed upon worship as kings do upon flattery. That is why the cry of gods at all times is “Worship us or we perish.” A dethroned monarch may retain some of his human dignity while driving a taxi for a living. But a god without his thunderbolt is a poor object.Chapman Cohen
