Google says that it was John Buchan, a Scottish author and politician (1875-1940) who said: "An atheist is a man who has no invisible means of support."
It's also the name of a book, "Invisible Means of Support: A Transformational Journey : A Tribute to Joseph Campbell" by Dennis Augustine.
I first heard the quote during "The Power of Myth" series with Bill Moyers interviewing Joseph Campbell, many years ago.

I must have got it from Moyers/Campbell. Two of my heroes. ?
Is that the Same John Buchan, who wrote the 39 Steps?
