A Defect of Atheism

The atheist in fact talks of the true, the good, and the beautiful, but never asks why we admire or pursue such categories. These are ideas by which we judge everything, as Mortimer Adler points out. The same applies for liberty, equality, and justice. These are ideas by which we seek to live. Wars are fought over them. Books are written because of them. If such categories exist, which of the worldviews is able to explain them or justify them or sustain them? Atheism simply cannot do it. To be sure, it has been tried.
