The atheist possesses an unshakeable confidence in his own righteousness. The reason for this is obvious: he is his own absolute source of morality, and sets his own moral standards, by which he judges both himself and everyone else. As Peter Hitchens observes, “Unlike Christians, atheists have a high opinion of their own nature”. It becomes terribly easy to feel virtuous when you are the one defining virtue. The atheist cannot recognise his own moral inadequacy without a moral standard that transcends him. Giorgio Roversi, The amorality of atheism

It is true that I am a rebellious heart and that I have not ceased to rebel against pervasive ugliness, against baseness promoted in virtue and against lies elevated to the rank of truth. I have not ceased to protest against those who, before our eyes, wanted the death of Europe, our ancient civilization, without which I would be nothing. Dominique Venner
