Freud was another example of one used "science" in the cause of atheism.

-------------------------

"If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for a reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed." - Albert Einstein

We are. Not that people necessarily strive to be good only because they fear punishment and hope for reward.

"Fear is the parent of cruelty; therefore it is no wonder if religion and cruelty have gone hand-in-hand." - Bertrand Russell

Since his time we have a century of history that shows irreligion and cruelty go hand-in-hand even better.

"We must question the story logic of having an all-knowing all-powerful God, who creates faulty Humans, and then blames them for his own mistakes." - Gene Roddenberry

Another guy second-guessing God. A whole lot of atheism is just malignant egoism - 'I wouldn't have done this.'
