Re: Max Horkheimer on Theism and Atheism

On Jul 8, 2007, at 12:09 AM, Yoshie Furuhashi quoted Max Horkheimer:

The meanings of the two concepts do not remain unaffected by history

Indeed. Because there’s no way this could apply to the United States:

Nowadays atheism is in fact the attitude of those who follow whatever power happens to be dominant…

Come to think of it, this quote is pretty funny coming from someone
who’s constantly apologizing for a state in which religious power
isn’t merely dominant, but is the law itself.
