[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 7816055, member: 6802378"] You have to remember the difference between atheism and misotheism or the maltheismo. Atheism is when you are sure God doesn't exist. Misotheism is when you hate god(s). Maltheism is when you think God is bad. And monolatry isn't nor monotheism neither polytheism, but when you believe in the existence of some deities but only adore one. Tolkien's Middle-Earth wasn't polytheism at all, but only a supreme god, Ilúvatar, and the other beings were like angels. Melkor and Sauron never were the "evil twin" but weaker than Ilúvatar, the pantocrator. Voltaire said: [I]"I would not wish to have to deal with an atheist prince, who would find it to his interest to have me ground to powder in a mortar: I should be quite sure of being ground to powder. If I were a sovereign, I would not wish to have to deal with atheist courtiers, whose interest it would be to poison me: I should have to be taking antidotes every day. It is therefore absolutely necessary for princes and for peoples, that the idea of a Supreme Being, creator, ruler, rewarder, revenger, shall be deeply engraved in people's minds".[/I] And then he didn't watch Joffrey Baratheon with a crossbow or Ramsay Bolton with his "wives" in an episode of Games of Thrones. [I] [/I]In a fantasy world not only the atheism is hard when you face supernatural menaces, but when you lose at least a brother when you are still underage. When you face suffering and death then hedonism or selfish pleasure is ephemeral like ashes scattered by the wind. And some religious traditions are too popular to be forgotten. The procession of Holy Week in Spain is a good example. Lot of people who never goes to church in Sunday for all the year love Spanish processions or they are in "cofradías" (brotherhoods) to carry the religious images. [/QUOTE]
