Hitler may have been an atheist but only in a classical sense, and in
any case it's hard to describe the people who followed him as
unbelievers. I'm not suggesting that an analysis of culture in terms of
belief is complicit with that belief system, only that we shout put
something in the face of all culture, i.e. make life, rather than defend
varieties of conservatism against others. Ho ho! -- I. N. Humanist
