The New Atheist Cult converts should ponder this review of George Orwell's " 1984 " : AI Overview : [ " During Winston Smith's torture in the Ministry of Love, O'Brien engages him in philosophical discussions about the Party's power and its control over reality. O'Brien suggests that the Party holds the ultimate power and can define truth, essentially stating that the Party's will replaces the concept of God or any external reality. While there isn't a direct question asking if Winston believes in God, O'Brien states that "God is power" and that the Party, through its control over life, acts as the "priests of power". Through his words and actions, O'Brien makes it clear that the Party has supplanted any traditional notions of religion or a higher power, replacing them with unquestioning loyalty and belief in Big Brother.
