"Whenever it has appeared as an organized movement in modern times, atheism has always allied itself with pseudo-science."

     John Gray, Seven types of atheism (New York:  Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2018), 14.  Gray himself:  "repelled by the first five varieties, I am drawn to the last two":  "atheism without progress" (Santayana, Conrad) and the "atheism of silence" or "an unnameable God" (Schopenhauer, Spinoza, Shestov).
