atheist quote	context
Its a terrible situation wherein many have been taught what to think rather than how to think.		8
The religious are blinded by the divine light.		8
Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual. --Carl Sagan		8
How can a religion idolise a woman who refused to give patients pain relief because she believed pain was pure!?		7
It's a horrible idea that God, this paragon of wisdom and knowledge, power, couldn't think of a better way to forgive us our sins than to come down to Earth in his alter ego as his son and have himself hideously tortured and executed so that he could forgive himself. -- Richard Dawkins		7
What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof.		6
how can such patriarchal, intolerant religions be upheld and supported in this day and age...		6
by calling yourself an atheist you have walked straight into religion's trap.		6
God is indeed a shining example to all, to all who commit bigoted atrocities that is.		5
Religions are not based on truths or events, they are based on, rather, which group of people can come up with the best fathomed, and most convincing lies.		5
If people are inept to playing Chinese whispers, how accurate is the bible supposed to be?		5
Religious doctrines â€¦ are all illusions, they do not admit of proof, and no one can be compelled to consider them as true or to believe in them. -- Sigmund Freud.		5
The only real radicalism in our time will come as it always has â€” from people who insist on thinking for themselves and who reject party-mindedness.		4
indoctrination, Christianity's main source of followers "sheep"		4
About once or twice every month I engage in public debates with those whose pressing need it is to woo and to win the approval of supernatural beings. Very often, when I give my view that there is no supernatural dimension, and certainly not one that is only or especially available to the faithful, and that the natural world is wonderful enoughâ€”and even miraculous enough if you insistâ€”I attract pitying looks and anxious questions. How, in that case, I am asked, do I find meaning and purpose in life? How does a mere and gross materialist, with no expectation of a life to come, decide what, if anything, is worth caring about? Depending on my mood, I sometimes but not always refrain from pointing out what a breathtakingly insulting and patronizing question this is. (It is on a par with the equally subtle inquiry: Since you don't believe in our god, what stops you from stealing and lying and raping and killing to your heart's content?) Just as the answer to the latter question is: self-respect and the desire for the respect of othersâ€”while in the meantime it is precisely those who think they have divine permission who are truly capable of any atrocityâ€”so the answer to the first question falls into two parts. A life that partakes even a little of friendship, love, irony, humor, parenthood, literature, and music, and the chance to take part in battles for the liberation of others cannot be called 'meaningless' except if the person living it is also an existentialist and elects to call it so. It could be that all existence is a pointless joke, but it is not in fact possible to live one's everyday life as if this were so. Whereas if one sought to define meaninglessness and futility, the idea that a human life should be expended in the guilty, fearful, self-obsessed propitiation of supernatural nonentitiesâ€¦ but there, there. Enough. -- Christopher Hitchens. (One of my favs)		4
Christianity incites apathy directly from its teachings, just remember kids, don't take action, pray.		3
Beware the irrational, however seductive. Shun the 'transcendent' and all who invite you to subordinate or annihilate yourself. Distrust compassion; prefer dignity for yourself and others. Don't be afraid to be thought arrogant or selfish. Picture all experts as if they were mammals. Never be a spectator of unfairness or stupidity. Seek out argument and disputation for their own sake; the grave will supply plenty of time for silence. Suspect your own motives, and all excuses. Do not live for others any more than you would expect others to live for you. -- Christopher Hitchens		3
We are all atheists under the definition of the word.		3
An atheist is someone who is more free minded, allowing that person to scrutinize the bible.		3
Religion is organised and upheld by the higher classes to give the lower classes a sense of security and belonging, this is done merely to keep the lower classes sedate, inactive and unaware of what is truly happening in the world.		3
