Martin Buber on Atheism


The atheist staring from his attic window
is often nearer to God than the believer
caught up in his own false image of God.


- quoted by Garret Barden, S.J. in his introduction to
Jean Lacroix's the Meaning of modern atheism (Macmillan: NY 1965) p 12
- also by S. Paul Schilling, God in an age of atheism (Abingdon: Nashville 1969) p 19
