"Meski begitu, bahkan ateis yang paling terpuji hanyalah parasit moral, menjalani hidupnya berdasarkan etika pinjaman. Inilah sebabnya, ketika ditekan, seorang ateis akan sering berusaha menyembunyikan kurangnya keyakinannya pada keyakinannya sendiri di balik beberapa utilitarianisme yang dirumuskan dengan buruk, atau berpendapat bahwa ia bertindak berdasarkan kepentingan pribadi altruistik. Tapi ini hanya rasionalisasi pasca-fakto, bukan alasan atau perilaku rasional."

Versi Bahasa Inggris
Still, even the most admirable of atheists is nothing more than a moral parasite, living his life based on borrowed ethics. This is why, when pressed, the atheist will often attempt to hide his lack of conviction in his own beliefs behind some poorly formulated utilitarianism, or argue that he acts out of altruistic self-interest. But this is only post-facto rationalization, not reason or rational behavior.
