Christopher Hitchens (2011). “God is Not Great”, p.75, Atlantic Books Ltd

The only position that leaves me with no cognitive dissonance is atheism. It is not a creed. Death is certain, replacing both the siren-song of Paradise and the dread of Hell.

There is nothing more; but I want nothing more.
