Wells was the last of the high-level saturation prophets. His success as a futurist was based on a supreme confidence in man's worst instincts. For Wells, an atheist, theological good and evil did not exist. Original sin resided in the pinkish gray folds of the brain and expressed itself through brutish linkage, which operated the prehensile thumb. Given tools enough and time, Homo sapiens would turn the most charming toy, the most fetching theory, into a weapon...
Malik later set off another brisk diplomatic exchange when he noted that the Israelis felt "nearer than any other people to God." He added: "I am an atheist but I do not believe God would be so partial." Rapping the table with his pipe, the Israeli Ambassador, Yosef Tekoah, shouted: "I do not believe that the Security Council should be a forum for the kind of slander and abuses of any people's faith we heard just now from Ambassador Malik!"

An atheist who once remarked "I do not believe, thank God," Bunuel in his film mocks his own disgust at the corrupt and rigid structure of the Catholic Church. Though the sins of the clergy in this movie are venial and not carnal, they are still exposed. A bishop, on his way to give a dying man absolution, meets a peasant woman who whispers, "Father, I want to tell you something. I don't like Jesus Christ...Ever since I was a little child, I have hated him." Aghast...
