Your dad doesn't know much about history, either. I did look up that quote the last time some theist trotted it out and it did not appear in any of Napoleon's writings. His opinions of religion were well documented.
As it turns out that quote appeared in the writings of some British visitor to St Helena and, frankly, smacks of this:
Xtians have never been above lying to advance their godboy.

Quote:Orthodox Christians have the habit of claiming all great men, all men who have held important positions, men of reputation, men of wealth. As soon as the funeral is over clergymen begin to relate imaginary conversations with the deceased, and in a very little while the great man is changed to a Christian -- possibly to a saint.
-- Robert Green Ingersoll
