There is the implication that Edgar Lee Masters had at least scepticism about religion and possible could be considered an atheist.
One quote by him says: "In a word I think that Christianity has falsified and enervated the world, America included." He continues and says: "To my mind there is hardly an utterance of Jesus that is sound and true, while his mind and character are inferior to those of Socrates, Confucius, Aristotle, and Plato."
There are also several suggestions within his poetry that suggest it so, for example the poem concerning Wendell P. Boyd within The Spoon River Anthology, by Masters, that has certain anti-Christian sentiments. I'm not suggesting this is the poet channelling through the character, but there is an underlining tone of irreligious thought throughout the anthology.
