Sire, I had no need of that hypothesis.

The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.

I’ve heard that before, and I think it’s probably apocryphal. I find it hard to believe that Napoleon read the five volume

I don't really give a shit to be honest as regardless of authenticity (or lack of it) it sounds both funny and right. god being relegated to dark corner right with rest of the myths.

Oh, I agree with the sentiment expressed, no doubt of it. Just because something is apocryphal doesn’t mean it isn’t true.
