5. "Despite his atheism, Comte was concerned with moral regeneration and the establishment of a spiritual power". Mary Pickering: «Auguste Comte and the saint-simonians», en French Historical Studies, vol. 18, n.º 1, págs. 211-236; primavera de 1993.
6. "But tragically, Comte's "remarkable clearness and extent of vision as to natural things" was coupled with a "total blindness in regard to all that pertains to man's spiritual nature and relations". His "astonishing philosophic power" served only to increase the "plausibility" of a dangerous infidelity. Comte was, once unmasked, a "blank, avowed, unblushing atheist". [...] Some of the Reformed writers were careful enough to note that technically Comte was not an atheist since he never denied the existence of God, merely his comprehensibility. Practically, however, this made little difference. It only pointed to the skepticism and nescience at the core of his positivism. The epistemological issues dominated the criticism of Comte. Quickly, his atheism was traced to his sensual psychology (or "sensualistic psychology", as Robert Dabney preferred to say)". Charles D. Cashdollar: «Auguste Comte and the american reformed theologians», en el Journal of the History of Ideas, vol. 39, n.º 1, págs. 61-79, enero-marzo de 1978.
7. Van A. Harvey: «Ludwig Andreas Feuerbach», Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, 2007 (accessed May 22, 2008).

   Feuerbach's book received criticism from two quarters: expectedly from Christian theologians but surprisingly, from the atheists Max Stirner and Bruno Bauer.

9. Passmore, John: «Anderson, John (1893-1962)», Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004. Consultado el 29 de abril de 2008.

   This degree of radicalism Sydney could endure. But what of a man who had signed up as a communist immediately on his arrival, who was unashamedly an atheist, a realist where philosophers were expected to be idealists, who freely mixed with students when he was expected to meet them only in classes or, very occasionally, in their studies? Trouble was bound to loom ahead.

    Conversely, an absolute denial of God's existence is equally meaningless, since verification is impossible. However, despite this assertion, Ayer may be considered a practical atheist: one who sees no reason to worship an invisible deity.

17. «Büchner, Ludwig», artículo en la Encyclopædia Britannica Online. Consultado el 1 de agosto de 2008.

    Büchner's materialistic interpretation of the universe in Kraft und Stoff created an uproar for its rejection of God, creation, religion, and free will and for its explanation of mind and consciousness as physical states of the brain produced by matter in motion. His continued defense of atheism and atomism and his denial of any distinction between mind and matter (Natur und Geist, ‘naturaleza y espíritu’, 1857) appealed strongly to freethinkers, but dialectical materialists condemned his acceptance of competitive capitalism, which Büchner viewed as an example of Charles Darwin's "struggle for survival.

    Carnap had a modest but deeply religious family background, which might explain why, although he later became an atheist, he maintained a respectful and tolerant attitude in matters of faith throughout his life.

    Ávalos: "I was a child evangelist and preacher, and I used to go around a lot of churches in Arizona specifically [...] it was coming along sort of in stages [...] slowly through high school, and so by the first year of college, I pretty much had realised that I am an atheist". [...]
    Annie Laurie Gaylor: What made you an atheist?
    Ávalos: Well I always say, reading the Bible did. The more I read the Bible and I tried to use the Bible to convert other people to Christianity, I realised, well I have to learn the arguments of the other religions I'm trying to convert. And the more I tried to learn the arguments and compare them to mine, the more I realised, I could make the arguments for their side just as well. Then it went into, you know, how do I know that anything I believe is true? And eventually I realised I have no evidence for any religion being true, and at that point, I was an atheist".
