Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Atheists in general need share no particular political or metaphysical views, but atheists of the most modern, Western, militant sort, escaping from a merely nihilistic mind-set, are usually humanists of an especially triumphalist kind. In this paper I offer a critical analysis and partial history of their claims, suggesting that they are members of a distinctively <jats:italic>Christian</jats:italic> heretical sect, formed in reaction to equally heretical forms of monotheistic idolatry.</jats:p>
