Terry Pratchett. The Grim Reaper (№ 76075)

Wizards don't believe in gods. About the same as most people do not see the need to believe in, say, tables. People know what tables there are, you know that the existence of feasible and tables occupy a certain position in a well organized universe. People just don't see any need to go around and say: "O great table, without you I'm nothing."
