Human authority can go fuck itself and divine authority can go fuck itself. They're both corrupt, self-serving crap.

I frame my take on the saying differently than New Atheism's take a decade ago. It was a common saying in those circles. But the vibe when New Atheists said, "No gods, no masters." was largely, "Gods don't exist, so religion isn't my master." The deeper meaning of rejecting social hierarchy was missing. They were fine with their own accepted bodies of authority and hierarchy. It was just religion's authority they had a problem with.
