241.-242.
241 – Atheism is a necessary protest against the wickedness of the Churches and the narrowness of creeds. God uses it as a stone to smash these soiled card-houses.
242 – How much hatred and stupidity men succeed in packing up decorously and labelling “Religion”!
Which is better: religion or atheism?
So long as religions exist, atheism will be indispensable to counter-balance them. Both must disappear to make way for a sincere and disinterested search for Truth and a total consecration to the object of this search.
