It's easier for a Russian to become an atheist than for anyone else in the world.

The Idiot (1868)

It is easier for a Russian to become an Atheist, than for any other nationality in the world. And not only does a Russian 'become an Atheist,' but he actually BELIEVES IN Atheism, just as though he had found a new faith, not perceiving that he has pinned his faith in a negation. Such is our anguish of thirst!

The Idiot (1869)
