“Imaginary evil is romantic and varied; real evil is gloomy, monotonous, barren, boring. Imaginary good is boring; real good is always new, marvelous, intoxicating.'' Simone Weil

“We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once. And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh.” Friedrich Nietzsche

Simone Weil was not an atheist. She was a very conflicted Catholic.

Weil was born into a secular household and raised in "complete agnosticism".

Did you even read the Wikipedia article you linked? Quotes from Weil about God are all over it. Weil would not have been considered orthodox by any church, but that does not make her an atheist!

In fact by the standards of this thread the fact that she believed in God makes her complicit in basically all the ills of the modern era. And she undeniably believed in God. Or are you ignoring her saying such things as "I love God" and "Christ himself took possession of me?"[/quote]
