No subject is taboo to free thinkers — no subject but one, belief in God. For atheism is the opiate of the intellectuals, whose minds are thereby dulled to every token of divinity. The faithful will be outcasts in the new order, and the measure of the “freedom” of what will pass for thought will be the fervency of one’s nonbelief. . . .
Will our enlightened brethren suffer us to exist as harmless anomalies and quaint anachronisms? Afraid not. No, our faith is a constant challenge to their infidelity; it makes them feel bad. We’ll just have to go. You see, humanists cannot be truly free until all belief and all believers are exterminated. — F.R. Duplantier, “Free to Serve,” 1987
