Description The fallen father in Tom Scott's partly biographical monologue The Daylight Atheist is a brooding, abusive drunk whose loathing and put-downs permeate his tiny, impoverished world. Dan Moffat calls himself 'a daylight atheist' on the basis that God doesn't exist when the sun is up, although he admits to leaps of faith at night amid the shadows, creaks and noises.
