Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

It obviously did once have survival value, just as tribalism did. But human morality isn't static, it changes and adapts to better ensure survival, or haven't you noticed.Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope.

The point was that with a male dominated culture, you're going to get a god made in the male image, it's always been the case no matter the particular god and culture in question.Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope.
