In his book The Last Word, author Thomas Nagel writes, ‘I want atheism to be true, and I am made uneasy by the fact that some of the most intelligent and well informed people I know are religious believers. It isn’t just that I don’t believe in God and, naturally, hope that I’m right in my belief. It is that I hope there is no God. I don’t want there to be a God, I don’t want the universe to be like that.’
