Chapter 93
I eventually left religion for atheism. Atheism does involve faith to some extent. An atheist has the strong belief that there is nothing there. They have faith in other things. They have faith that their Chinese take out will arrive to their house on time. They have faith in others. They have faith in facts.
Religion is the faith in the unknown, the belief in something else. So you could say that I didn't completely leave religion since I have belief in something else.
Just like my father had faith in Richard Parker that they would both mind their own space. That he would not go AWOL and suddenly devour him.
So my father was an atheist to an extent. Even Usha is an atheist to a certain degree.
Face the facts, ladies and gentlemen.
We are all atheists at one time or another.
