On Atheism & Atheists

“…that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.  For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse…  when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful…  their foolish heart was darkened.  Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools…”

Rom. 1:19-22

“The fool hath said in his heart, ‘There is no God.’  They are corrupt…”

Ps. 14:1
