Atheism
The majestic movement of the universe, the harmony of its laws, and the observance of the most admirable order, as well as the sublimity of the phenomena of the soul and all the acts of human conscience, are but witnesses to the existence of a governing and providing Being, God. This truth, the foundation of the most sublime philosophy has resisted the attacks of the most unspeakeable sceptiscism, and has shone with pure brilliance on the horizon of all peoples who have paid tribute to civilization.
