The Epicurean gods are the strangest thing in the system and the reason deity_structure here reads "many" rather than "none". They exist, they are composed of fine atoms, they live in the intermundia between worlds, and their perfection consists precisely in not intervening — a being that gets angry or grants favours would be neither blessed nor indestructible. Epicureans still attended civic festivals, on the grounds that contemplating something perfectly untroubled is good for you, which enraged critics who thought it hypocrisy. The charge of atheism followed the school for six centuries and was one reason its books were not copied.
