“Look at atheists, with what hatred some of them speak of Christ and the Church! This can’t be explained merely by unbelief. For instance, I don’t believe in Buddha, but I have never had the desire to mock him and his followers constantly and devote as much time to this as some atheists devote to their struggle against Christianity. And, interestingly, atheists don’t display such an attitude to Buddha or Mohammed.”
