Examples

“The godite, in persisting that the god idea proves a god, overlooks this difficulty, that, inasmuch as every man has a different idea of a god to his neighbour, arising out of the varieties of organisations, every individual must be an Atheist to every other individual, although in reality they are all Theists, or believers in a god.”

“As the Godites are evidently anxious to prevent the circulation of this interesting discussion, a liberal allowance will be made to Booksellers.”

“The question would resolve itself into an inquiry whether, given a revolution, the godites or the godless are the more violent — a point not easily settled from a comparison of histories.”
