OK to Atheism


The aim of the Christian is not that of defending the Muslim or the Christian. The aim is to defend man, independently of his religion. If Christianity helps me to defend man, then it is welcome! If it is my atheism that helps me to defend man, then it is welcome! Religion has no need of being defended, but only man!
