because he was king atheist and started the movement and grandfather the same BS arguments you guys still use

Acutally Voltaire was a deist. He believed in a god that got the ball rolling and then got out of Dodge, a non interventionist god who started the universe then sat back to see what eventuated. Definitely not an atheist.

Also, atheism is as old as religion, hell even some religions (mainly centered around India and China) are themselves atheistic. In the classical west the first atheist school of philosophy was the Greek school of the atomists, who were the first to describe the world without any reference to god (and likely amongst the earliest preludes to modern science), there were plays written about atheists and eventually Greek philosophy resulted in Epicurus, the one person most rightly deserving of the title "grandfather of atheism". Epicurus died c. two millenia before Voltaire was born.

But you don't care about reality. It contradicts the fantasy world built inside your head.

I knew you were neither capable nor competent to respond to even one point I made. 
Thanks for proving yet again what a mental midget you are, and that you have not one shred of education in these topics. 
You're so far over your head, you drowned a few years ago. 
No converts today for Drip Shit.
Oh well.

Dripshit is a deist also, not a theist.
He doesn't know what those words mean.
He outed himself in this thread.
One cannot underestimate his level of education.
He does pretty well for completing 4th Grade.
