Atheist ?: Yes!

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

“Atheist ?: Certainly!” Is an atheistic pamphlet by the German writer Arno Schmidt .

The text was first published in the anthology published by Karlheinz Deschner in 1957 What do you think of Christianity? released. What is special about Schmidt's text is that the author - having become cautious due to blasphemy in a previous process under Section 166 StGB - hides behind classics of German literature such as Johann Gottfried Seume and Georg Christoph Lichtenberg . He created a quote collage from their texts .
