Wasn't Dostoyevsky also religious?
- coldtea 7y agoYes. His point wasn't that religion is bad. His point was that the kind of revolutionary mania emerging in Russia was bad, and a kind of atheist substitute of religion (which, in its fervor and conviction lacks its controls and subtlety).
- tomlockwood 7y agoI suppose though it'd be very in character for a religious commentator to see religions as having controls and subtlety that atheism doesn't.
