God was invented by cave men... to explain thunder. |

| Geogre Carlin |
I've begun worshipping the sun for a number of reasons. First of all, unlike some other gods I could mention, I can see the sun. It's there for me every day. And the things it brings me are quite apparent all the time: heat, light, food, a lovely day. There's no mystery, no one asks for money, I don't have to dress up, and there's no boring pageantry. And interestingly enough, I have found that the prayers I offer to the sun and the prayers I formerly offered to God are all answered at about the same 50-percent rate. |

Some argue that atheism is an equal and opposite to theism. This is incorrect, atheism is in fact the default position, theism is the anomaly to explain. |

Religions are like pills, which must be swallowed whole without chewing. |

God is exactly where we put him and what we make him out to be. |

If God exists, and is the benevolent being, who loves everyone and forgives all who seek forgiveness, as he is foretold in the bible. Why would he sanction the murder of thousands of his own creators in his name? |

| Penn and Teller |
The characters and events depicted in the damn bible are fictitious. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental. |

"dear religious people, don't worry, when atheist become the majority (and it will happen sooner than you think) we will treat you far better than you have historically treated us when you were the majority" |

"Do what I tell you to or I'll beat you up" is the message given by the school bully.
"Believe what I tell you to or you'll burn for all time" is the message given by religion. |

If "religious beliefs" infringe upon the civil rights of specific populations of human beings, anyone that possesses empathy should actively challenge those beliefs. |

If Jesus wants to talk to me, he's welcome to show up and do so any time he wants. In the meantime, I've no use for the people claiming to speak on his behalf. They speak with no consistent voice, and what Jesus wants is always identical to what the preacher doing the talking wants. |

Those who favor science know it isn't infallible, but they are willing to use the best available methods to answer questions previously unknown, such as the makeup of an atom. I don't know of a single religion that will admit a flaw in its doctrine. |

Life after death is pretty much the same as life before life. |

"Christianity is BS, but it gave us human rights and Western values."
Christianity didn't give us 'Western values.' Greek and other philosophers discussed ethics in greater detail. Christianity was a step backwards. The Enlightenment gave us these values, not the bible.

I would love to believe that when I die I will live again, that some thinking, feeling, remembering part of me will continue. But as much as I want to believe that, and despite the ancient and worldwide cultural traditions that assert an afterlife, I know of nothing to suggest that it is more than wishful thinking.

If God exists and loves me soooo much that he would send his only son to die to save me, then why does he hide from me and then condemn me for not believing by faith alone? In order to save someone I loved I would probably pop round and see them and tell them directly and personally what they should do. Several times if necessary. Not make them play guessing games that will cost them their soul if they don't guess right. |

A prayer in a public school! God has no place within these walls, just like facts have no place within organized religion. |

Life is but a momentary glimpse at the wonder of this astonishing Universe and it is sad to see so many dreaming it away on spiritual fantasies. |

A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that h |

Never take life too seriously. After all, life doesn't seem to be taking you too seriously, does it? |

There's a huge hole in the whole Flood drama, because anything that could float or swim got away Scot-free, and it was the idea to wipe out everything, He didn't say, "I will kill everything, except the floating ones and the swimming ones, who will get out due to a loophole."

People that scream "god and country" and wrap themselves in a flag frequently are the least democratic and least patriotic of them all. In fact, most would prefer a Christian-based theocracy that would allow them to have absolute control of everything with severe punishment available to dole out to all dissidents who question their warped beliefs. |

So, banning textbooks in the United States is the new way for politicians to please their highly-bigoted, dimwitted evangelical Christian base. I did Nazi that coming! |

Why are religious wack-jobs so concerned with the sex lives or sexual preferences of people they'll likely never meet in their lifetimes? |

If you have to resort to quoting the Bible to make your point, it's a pretty good sign you can't think for yourself. |

If Christianity contained an iota of demonstrable fact, there would not be this obsession with indoctrinating children on the part of believers. |

Religious clerics wear silly religious hats to give them height, to dominate and intimidate that's why pulpits are so high, and it really works... I'm positive I will stop laughing soon. |

The unicorn is mentioned nine times in the bible, theists try to get around this by saying, when the bible was translated from Hebrew to English it was translated wrong. Out of 783,137 words in the bible, unicorn was the only one that was translated wrong. Of course it was. |

Odd how most prominently religious people throw the words "fake science" around while knowing relatively nothing about actual science. In fact, they're more likely to be part of the book-banning club that fears any type of knowledge since it quickly undermines their idiotic conspiracy laden beliefs. |

It appears lost on a lot of people, especially theologians, that a genuine message from the almighty, especially one with serious expectations attached, would not be subject to endless debate. |

I think the "decline in membership" the Catholic church reports is mostly due to so many people using their own version of barbaric ancient beliefs to suit their twisted individual goals (e.g., political power, controlling women, money ambitions, voter-suppression, owning an armory). I just wish it would decline much faster before there is nothing left over for us rational thinkers to protect. |

When “Christians” travel to other countries that already have their own beliefs and culture and these people respond in a negative way to their “Jesus sales pitch”, they immediately start screaming that they are somehow being persecuted. This really speaks to the extent of how very fucked up these people are.
