‎"That's one kind of atheist, who thinks none of it's really true but it is very, very important, It's very interesting, it's very deep. There's another kind of atheist, which is David Hume or Bertrand Russell who thinks well I mostly can't understand what these people are claiming but in so far as I understand what they are claiming, It's
obviously false and I'm that kind of atheist, it just doesn't interest me at all."
Quentin Skinner (Professor of the Humanities at University of London and an influential intellectual historian)
