Selfishness is the only real atheism unselfishness the only

Summary

This quote suggests that true atheism lies in selfishness, meaning to prioritize one's own desires and ignore the existence of others or any higher power. On the other hand, it implies that genuine religion is based on an unselfish mindset, where individuals prioritize the wellbeing and needs of others above their own. In this context, selfishness separates us from understanding and connecting with something greater, while unselfishness leads us closer to a meaningful spiritual existence.
