Dear Jansy,
it seems to me that Nabokov might mean merely that the idea of an Atheist
dying happily
in his own bed is "against all rules" (for an Amercian novel) - he
discusses this himself
somewhere -doesn't he?
And Pushkin means simply that he doesn't believe in happinness as others
do not believe in God
(in his time, shortly after French Revolution, the Atheist ideas attracted
much more attention
that now, and the idea of "common good", "bonheur general" was commonplace
in the
discussions).
