|دین = [[خداناباور]]<ref>Werner Heisenberg recollects a friendly conversation among young participants at the 1927 [[کنفرانس سلوی]] about Einstein's and [[ماکس پلانک|Planck]]'s views on religion. Wolfgang Pauli, Heisenberg and Dirac took part in it. Among other things, Dirac said: "I cannot understand why we idle discussing religion. If we are honest — and as scientists honesty is our precise duty — we cannot help but admit that any religion is a pack of false statements, deprived of any real foundation. The very idea of God is a product of human imagination.[...] I do not recognize any religious myth, at least because they contradict one another.[...]" Pauli jokingly said: "Well, I'd say that also our friend Dirac has got a religion and the first commandment of this religion is: God does not exist and Paul Dirac is his prophet." {{cite book | title = Physics and Beyond: Encounters and Conversations | publisher = Harper & Row | location = New York | isbn=0-06-131622-9}}</ref><ref name="Pauling">"... I [Pauling] am not, however, militant in my atheism. The great English theoretical physicist Paul Dirac is a militant atheist. I suppose he is interested in arguing about the existence of God.

But it was a narrow sort, mainly dismissive of religious orthodoxy. In notes he wrote in 1933, he embraces another creed: "[T]his article of faith is that the human race will continue to live for ever and will develop and progress without limit . . . Living is worthwhile if one can contribute in some small way to this endless chain of progress."}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=The Strangest Man: the Hidden Life of Paul Dirac by Graham Farmelo|url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/bookreviews/4316309/The-Strangest-Man-the-Hidden-Life-of-Paul-Dirac-by-Graham-Farmelo-review.html|accessdate=9 June 2012|newspaper=The Telegraph|date=23 Jan 2009|author=Helen Brown|quote=Dirac’s story ends with a whimper. As a young man he had joked that physicists were all washed up by 30 and as he aged his powers waned. The Cambridge physics department took away his parking space and an outraged Manci insisted he take up a fellowship at Florida State University. He died in 1984, aged 82. An atheist, he was buried under a gravestone chosen by Manci. It read “because God said it should be so”.}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=Haphazard Reality: Half a Century of Science|year=2010|publisher=Amsterdam University Press|isbn=9789089642004|author=H. B.
