In 1813 he printed a revised and expanded version of it as one of the notes to his poem Queen Mab. Shelley evinced a searing contempt for organized religion but maintained a belief in a benevolent non-sectarian World Spirit.in the opening statement of this pamphlet, he makes clear the nature of his qualified deism :"There is no God.
