Philosophy can understand, and sympathize with, atheism as an expression of man's effort to free himself from superstition--albeit a clumsy, groping, and dangerous effort. But its own practice leads it to discover the godlike soul as man's real self, so it cannot help rejecting the materialism which would deny that along with the denial of God.
