Anti-theist
See voluntarysociety.org: For over 4,000 years, religion and nationalism -- god and country -- have been used to control the masses to benefit the few. "Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's." What a brilliant scam! Pay your taxes to government. Pay your tithe to the government-sanctioned religion (prophet = profit). Don't worry about your poverty. Turn the other cheek. Do not envy the wealth, power or leisure of the olegarchy: "Be happy. You will receive your reward in heaven, the afterlife or your next life. In the mean time we will work you into an early grave, or kill you conquering additional taxpayers, so we may live in opulence." The facade demanding sacrifice to god or country is the "Matrix." The Matrix has gradually become more sophisticated. Fallen soldiers are still honored to motivate more soldiers, but except for Pope coronations and the Mecca pilgrimage to rub a meteorite, mass media has largely replaced the massive staged events of the past. Unlimited fighter has replaced gladiators. The "news" has replaced the heralds. The list of changes goes on, but the basic mechanism remains the same. "It is always better to have no ideas than false ones; to believe nothing, than to believe what is wrong." -- Thomas Jefferson. "The plundering potentates of the Potamac and the pusillanimous parasites of the palace guard are having their last ride on the merry-go-round of privilege and pelf." -- Theodor Roosevelt McKelndin Archaeologists quickly determine who the aristocrats and monks were by virtue of the fact that they were they only ones who ate well.
