I will not accept if you say that you are an atheist with no faith in God. For what is the root of that faith in yourself which makes you say so? You believe yourself because your self is God and you have an unshakable faith in God, deep down in you. Faith in yourself and faith in God, are identical since you tap the strength of God in you when you defy an enemy without. That is why there is a persistent whisper within, to assure that strength in the path of mercy, charity, helpfulness.
