“The position of the Atheist is a clear and reasonable one. I know nothing about ‘God’ and therefore I do not believe in Him or in it; what you tell me about your God is self‐contradictory, and therefore incredible. I do not deny ‘God,’ which is an unknown tongue to me; I do deny your God, who is an impossibility. I am without God.”
Annie Wood Besant, Annie Besant

“The Atheist waits for proof of God. Till that proof comes he remains, as his name implies, without God. His mind is open to every new truth, after it has passed the warder Reason at the gate.”
Annie Wood Besant, The Atheistic Platform: Twelve Lectures by Chales Bradlaugh, Annie Besant, Alice Bradlaugh, A. B. Moss, C. C. Cattell, G. Standring, E. Aveling, D.Sc.
