Suspicion and Faith: The Religious Uses of Modern Atheism 

Salieri presents us with a vivid picture of the piety that reduces God to a means to the believer's own ends. Freud , Marx, and Nietzsche find this sort of piety to be the rule rather than the exception. To see our three atheists as critics of instrumental religion could be to make them instruments for self-examination and sanctification.
