In the first place, my parents are different religions, and all the children in our family are atheists. If you want to know the truth, I can’t even stand ministers. The ones they’ve had at every school I’ve gone to, they all have these Holy Joe voices when they start giving their sermons. God, I hate that. I don’t see why the hell they can’t talk in their natural voice. They sound so phony when they talk.
– J. D. Salinger
The Catcher in the Rye. Chapter 14, Holden nails his colors to the mast by declaring he is an atheist and tells how he hates “Holy Joe” ministers.
