'God is not Great'
'The God Delusion'
O ignorance of people!
That lend their ears
To this new atheism
Spiritual pieties will cure us
Be wise
New atheism is another fundamentalism
Fear the wrath of Jove
2.
No Nietzsche
No Kant
No rhetoric of Marx
'Religion is the opium of people'
Only simple truth I have in mind
Solid truth
Sermon on the Mount takes care of us
3.
No Freud, no Derrida's clap-trap
I find the key
A golden key
There it is
Ten Commandments
4.
What are you waiting for
How far away from truth new atheists are
The solution , find at last
Think of the Ten Commandments
Beautiful earth is paralyzed
Because you don’t remember Sermon on the Mount
Because you don’t remember Ten Commandments
Come home out of dragon’s trap
Come home
5.
You say: religion has created
Violence and cruelty in the past and present
We have no other way
Be righteous, humble, pure in heart
Now
