“Dear Sir, I am sorry to have to inform you that I do not believe in the Bible as a divine revelation & therefore not in Jeebus Christ as the son of God. Yours faithfully, Ch. Darwin.”
Charles Darwin, not wanting to upset his very religious wife, called himself an agnostic but he really had zero use for the moronic fantasy there's a magical being hiding who knows where.
The link is to Jerry Coyne's excellent website. I am reading his book "Faith vs. Fact" which everyone should read, especially America's Christian assholes.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne

The letter that shows that Christians who pretend Darwin never threw out their disgusting cult are fucking wrong.
