"At each containment breach, each public anomalous manifestation, there always was two or three people that persisted to claim that they saw nothing, that nothing happened or that they had seen something but that it doesn’t mean that it existed. The thing is that the people affected by the Filbuson syndrome decide to mentally separate what they perceive from what they know to be the reality, and this in order to save their perception of reality. They’re conscious of the abnormality around them, but to them it’s just a bug in the real world of comprehensible things. It’s a bit like a stain on the lens of a camera that ruins the picture, you see. The stain is real, you can’t deny it, and the landscape too, but the two don’t go together. So you have to wipe away the stain."

Like all good comic book scientists, Doctor Shark is willing to ignore massive swaths of his own inexplicable universe.
They dont necsasarrily [sic] need to worship the god that cursed them. Who told you such a thing is impossible? I've had atheist vampires, though how to not believe in god if he has personally cursed you is beyond me.
Michael Palin: I'm sorry to say I'm not sure I believe in you any more.

Samirah: I still don’t accept the idea that the Norse gods are gods. They’re just powerful beings. Some of them are my annoying relatives. But they are no more than creations of Allah, the only god, just like you and I are.
Magnus: You remember I’m an atheist, right?

Rempo: How dare a sorceress compare her powers to ours! Ridiculous! Listen. Human spells are made by a fake power. The book's power is different!

"That's why the Dwemer are the weirdest race in Tamriel and, frankly, also the scariest. They look(ed) like us, they sometimes act(ed) like us, but when you really put them under the magnifying glass you see nothing but vessels that house an intelligence and value system that is by all accounts Beyond Human Comprehension. (...) There isn't even a word to describe the Dwarven view on divinity. They were atheists on a world where gods exist."
"For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don't believe, no proof is possible."
