He's a hardcore, at times cringy, atheist. He thinks Lyotard, like Derrida, are mistaken in thinking that atheism retains theism negatively, and strives for a radical Bataillean atheology. One chapter is literally a fanfiction of him walking into a bar with a bloody knife telling the bartender how he killed God.

>There is only one sane and healthy relation to Christianity; perfect indifference. Mine is not of that kind. My detestation for the Christian faith exhausts my being, and more. I long for its God to exist in order to slake myself as violence upon him. If there are torments coming to me I want them, all of them; God experimenting in cruelty upon me. I want no lethargy in Hell, rather vigour and imagination. Oh yes, it is all very wretched, and if I am grateful to Christianity it is for one thing alone; it has taught me how to hate.

Some chapters and passages are very well written, evocative and even poetic in a darkly tortured way, but then there's passages like >>12389633 It's an extremely mixed bag, but his core idea of Libidinal Materialism is pretty interesting.
