What Hitler did not believe
and what Stalin did not believe
and what Mao did not believe
and what the SS did not believe
and what the Gestapo did not believe
and what the NKVD did not believe
and what the commissars, functionaries, executioners,
Nazi doctors, Communist Party theoreticians, intellectuals,
Brown Shirts, Black Shirts, gauleiters,
and a thousand party hacks did not believe
was that God was watching what they were doing.
And as far as we can tell, very few of those carrying out the horrors
of the twentieth century
worried overmuch that God was watching what they were doing either.
That is, after all, the meaning of a secular society.”
