== Quote of Thomas Nagel ==
The [[Christian apologetics|Christian apologist]] Tom Gilson, after citing cases where atheists hold to views without sufficient evidence, quotes the prominent atheist [[Thomas Nagel]] who declared:
{{Cquote|I want atheism to be true and am made uneasy by the fact that some of the most intelligent and well-informed people I know are religious believers. It isn’t just that I don’t believe in God and, naturally, hope that I’m right in my belief. It’s that I hope there is no God! I don’t want there to be a God; I don’t want the universe to be like that.<ref name="Gilson"/>
