In Spiritual Atheism, Steve Antinoff argues that the dilemma burning within the West has been given its most fundamental expression by Kirilov in Dostoyevsky's The Possessed: ''God is necessary, and so must exist…Yet I know that he doesn't exist, and can't exist…But don't you understand that a man with two such ideas cannot go on living?'' According to Antinoff, spiritual atheism begins with triple realisation: that the experience of the world leaves people dissatisfied, that this dissatisfaction is intolerable and that there is no God.
