Atheism, capital “A,” the denial of the creator God, capital “G,” always defaults to some form of theism, small “t” – I mean the embrace of a false god, small “g.” It doesn’t even seem to be possible to deny every unconditional commitment. Everyone bends the knee to something, whether or not he knows what it is.
In this sense, although there may be such a thing as Atheism, capital “A,” there is no such thing as atheism, small “a.” In fact, deep down there is probably not even any such thing as Atheism, capital “A,” because when we do deny the creator God, capital “G,” we aren’t simply mistaken; we are deceiving ourselves, pulling the wool over our eyes.
