Quote by Richard Dawkins
We are all atheists about most of the gods that societies have ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further.
Summary
This quote, often attributed to writer Richard Dawkins, expresses the idea that individuals are typically non-believers in the vast array of gods worshiped throughout history by various societies. It argues that going one step further to reject belief in all gods is no different from the stance taken towards the multitude of gods that have long been dismissed by most people. In essence, it suggests that atheism is simply an extension of being skeptical about supernatural beliefs and rejecting the existence of one more god than the average religious person does.
