III. “You Shall Have No Other Gods Before Me”
2124
The name “atheism” covers many very different phenomena. One common
form is the practical materialism which restricts its needs and aspirations to
space and time. Atheistic humanism falsely considers man to be “an end to
himself, and the sole maker, with supreme control, of his own
history.”59 Another form of contemporary atheism looks for the
liberation of man through economic and social liberation. “It holds that
religion, of its very nature, thwarts such emancipation by raising man’s hopes
in a future life, thus both deceiving him and discouraging him from working for
a better form of life on earth.”60
