no se contentaban constatando fríamente la no existencia de Dios, rechazaban esa existencia, a la manera de Bakunin: «Y aunque Dios existiera, habría que deshacerse de él…», eran ateos a la manera de Kirilov, rechazaban a Dios porque querían colocar al hombre en su lugar, eran humanistas, tenían una idea muy elevada de la libertad humana, de la dignidad humana.
It wasn’t enough for them to coldly deny the existence of God—they had to refuse it, like Bakunin: ‘Even if God existed, it would be necessary to abolish him.’ They were atheists like Kirilov in The Possessed. They rejected God because they wanted to put man in his place. They were humanists, with lofty ideas about human liberty, human dignity.
