BELIEF IN GOD IS DISHONEST AND A DENIAL OF TRUE EXPERIENCE

HOLBACH : 'BELIEF IN GOD IS DISHONEST AND A DENIAL OF TRUE EXPERIENCE'

According to Holbach there was no supernatural alternative to nature, but an immense chain of causes and effects which unceasingly flow from one to another. To believe in a god was dishonest and a denial of our true experience. It was also an act of despair. Religion created supreme beings because people could not find any other explanation to console them for the tragedy of life in this world (That is only one of the reasons).
