“Men have left GOD not for other gods, they say, but for no God; and this has never happened before”
T.S. Eliot (1888–1965) 20th century English author
Choruses from The Rock (1934)
Context: But it seems that something has happened that has never happened before: though we know not just when, or why, or how, or where.
Men have left GOD not for other gods, they say, but for no God; and this has never happened before
That men both deny gods and worship gods, professing first Reason,
And then Money, and Power, and what they call Life, or Race, or Dialectic.
