Religion, Atheism, Sin
Now it seems that everything in the world stems from sources other than God, since the products of nature have their source in nature; deliberate effects can be traced back to human reason or will as their source. There is no need then to assume that God exists.

Thomas Aquinas Quotes About Worship
