[[Image:115523-004-FA619CA3.jpg|thumb|right|201px| The perverse and cruel atheist [[Marquis de Sade]] in prison, 18th century line engraving.]]
The atheist [[Marquis de Sade]] (1740-1814) was an infamous French [[aristocrat]] and [[author]] of heavily [[philosophy|philosophical]] [[pornography]], as well as more traditional [[essays]] on [[philosophy]].<ref>http://www.trivia-library.com/a/biography-of-famous-atheist-marquis-de-sade.htm</ref> [[Sadism]], a [[paraphilia]] in which pleasure is derived from inflicting pain or seeing pain being inflicted on others, is named after him. The debauched lifestyle of the Marquis de Sade caused him to have periods of imprisonment.<ref>http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A676190</ref>
His books featured [[murder]], [[torture]], [[blasphemy]] and grotesque, [[violent]], and ritualistic sex. His more major works remain banned in many countries to the present day, even though some of them have been highly influential; ''Juliet'', a book released early in his career, has been imitated right up until the present, most recently by radical [[feminism|feminist]] [[Andrea Dworkin]].
Despite the strong historical connection between atheism and [[sadism]] (see: [[Atheism and sadism]]), atheists/[[agnosticism|agnostics]] claim God is sadistic.<ref>[https://carm.org/god-of-old-testament-a-monster Is the God of the Old Testament a Merciless Monster?] by Robin Schumacher</ref><ref>[http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/23651-the-god-of-the-old-testament-is-arguably-the-most Richard Dawkins quote], Goodreads.com</ref><ref>[http://content.usatoday.com/communities/Religion/post/2012/08/atheism-mitt-romney-paul-ryan-mormon-christianity/ Atheist billboards mock Romney, Obama religion], ''USA Today''</ref>
