'''The Necessity of Atheism''' is a pamphlet, written by [[Percy Bysshe Shelley]] and published in 1811, that attempts to refute the existence of [[God]]. In it, Shelley makes such fallacious claims as "the mind cannot believe in the existence of a God."<ref>http://terpconnect.umd.edu/~djb/shelley/necessity1880.html</ref>

The pamphlet ultimately led to Shelley' expulsion from [[Oxford]]. His father intervened to get him reinstated and was allowed to return to Oxford on the condition he recant his views; his refusal to do so led to a falling out with his father.
