== Encyclopedia Britanica on atheism, arrogance and pretentiousness ==
The ''Encyclopedia Britanica'' (Edinborough 1771) in its article on [[atheism]] declared:
{{Cquote|Many people both ancient and modern have pretended to atheism or have been reckoned atheists by the world, but it is justly questioned whether any man seriously adopted such a principle. These pretentions therefore must be founded on pride or affection.<ref>[The Repressive Denials of Atheism in Britain in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries] by David Berman, Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy: Archaeology, Culture, History, Literature Vol. 82C (1982), pp. 211-246.
