Vitz criticizes [[liberalism]] and believes there is a link between fatherlessness and atheism, as he demonstrates in his book ''Faith of the Fatherless, the Psychology of [[Atheism]]'' (1999). The thesis of ''Faith of the Fatherless'' holds that famous believers;e.g., [[Blaise Pascal]], [[Edmund Burke]], [[Friedrich Schleiermacher]], [[Karl Barth]], and [[Dietrich Bonhoeffer]] had strong and loving fathers, whereas their atheistic counterparts who were militant/intense atheists;e.g., [[Thomas Hobbes]], [[Sigmund Freud]], [[Mao Zedong]], etc.; all had fathers who were weak, unloving, or absent (See: [[Psychology of atheism]] and [[Atheism and poor relationships with parents]]).  Thus, philosophers, professors, and political tyrants who denounce God do so in order to relive traumatic childhood experiences and to subconsciously seek out help rather than to explore any sort of valid or respectable reasoning process.
