Despite the amount of technology in the world, humankind will remain a primitive species as long it allows religion to direct its path.

Science is a beautiful, wondrous thing that quenches the thirst of those who have abandoned dogma for rational thought.

I truly admire the atheist population. Despite theists' many attempts to force religion upon them through early indoctrination, violence, exile, mass media, and multitudes of churches, mosques, and temples, they continue to think, evolve, and persist!

What all religions have in common is that they are faith based. People are taught to believe claims from some ancient text or self-proclaimed spiritual leader, instead of relying on their own senses, evidence and critical thinking.

Help other human beings in need for the sake of humanity, not as a guise for indoctrinating vulnerable people.

atheist quote	context	quality?
Mixed messages, repetition, bad fact checking, awkward constructions, inconsistent voice, weak character development, boring tangents, contradictions, passages where nobody can tell what the heck the writer meant to convey. . . . This doesn't sound like a book that was dictated by a deity. -Valerie Tarico (regarding the Bible)		201
Why are religious nut-jobs in such a hurry to indoctrinate young children into the faith? Because they know that if these children were allowed to think for themselves, they'd likely choose science and reason over the ignorance and superstition of religion.		200
In my opinion, a doctorate in theology equates to a doctorate in fairy tale. However, if I had to choose which one to pursue, I would choose the latter because Grimm's characters were so much cooler than those in the bible.		200
"Faith is the sound your mouth makes when your brain is not strong enough to use logic." -Paul Kinsella		199
The one thing you can count on during the broadcast of Christian television programs is not a closer relationship to Jesus, but rather that they'll ask you for money at some point during the program.		198
On the topic of claims that 'god is perfect'... "Perfect beings do not experience anger or surprise towards a sequence of events they knew of in advance." -John Kelly Ireland		198
Christians: "I'm fighting for my religious freedom." What they're saying in reality: "I'm fighting to inject my religious dogma into every aspect of society (e.g., government, schools, medical field) and I could give a rat's ass about anyone else's beliefs!"		198
Blessed are those that follow by "faith" alone. Blessed are those who follow by "ignorance" alone. I fail to see the difference!		197
Atheists have the keen ability to see through massive piles of BS which others blindly see as fact.		196
Recently, a TV Pastor said, "The problem is that people are confusing the Jesus of their imagination with the Jesus in the Bible." The moment I heard this ridiculous comment I wanted to reply, "Dude, I hate to break it to you, but they're one in the same!"		178
More libraries, less churches... Let's start using our brains again before we end up repeating the Dark Ages!		177
Atheism: When you realize all the people in the world matter (not just the ones you identify with).		172
Theists, you can believe as hard as you want in something. But if it isn't there, it just isn't there!		171
If Christians really adhered to the Bible quote "The truth shall make you free" (John 8:32 KJV), they'd be cracking open a science book a lot more often. The fact that they shun science to preserve their beliefs should tell anyone what they really think about the truth.		166
Humanity (An atheist's perspective) A spec upon a spec upon a spec In a vast universe, it would seem irrelevant Like the amoeba, only visible through a microscope Yet this minute particle produces wondrous things Ingenious inventions, literature, breath-taking works of art Regrettably, it also yields the narrow-mindedness of religion Personally I'm rooting for the tiny spec to make it Though without science and reason in charge Antiquated superstition may be the means to its end		163
Prayer: When you've given up on a realistic solution to your problem		162
"If this is your god, he's not very impressive. He has so many psychological problems; he's insecure. he demands worship every 7 days. He goes out and creates faulty humans and then blames them for his mistakes. He's a poor excuse for a supreme being." - Gene Roddenberry		160
Question: If a tree falls in the forest with no one there to hear it, does it still make a sound? Answer: Yes. Recording equipment can be left in the forest and listened to at a later time to verify it. Question: Does wishing thinking and prayer bring fictional gods from ancient texts to life? Answer: No. There are no contemporary historical accounts or tangible evidence such beings have ever existed.		153
Anyone who tries to win an argument by saying "Because the bible says so" should automatically have 30 points deducted from their IQ test!		137
As as atheist, I do good for the sake of doing good rather than for the empty promises of a make-believe after-life.		136
In case you're not aware of the difference... Secular World: the real, observable world, the only one we have Spiritual Word: the fantasy world containing some immensely unpleasant characters		133
Tossing a penny into a fountain and making a wish has about the same success rate as praying for various things from your favorite deity, but throwing coins is so much more fun!		125
The perfect way to suffocate a beautiful, intelligent, creative mind? Just add religion.		122
God so loves the children... Psalm 137:9: "Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks."		119
I have never once read a science book that commands me to stone non-believers to death!		117
Religion: The greatest, longest running ponzi scheme of all time where only those spewing BS from the very top are cashing in, and cashing in big.		107
"Priests of the religious sects, dread the advance of science as witches do the approach of daylight, and scowl on the fatal harbinger announcing the subversions of the duperies on which they live." -Thomas Jefferson, Letter to Correa de Serra, April 11, 1820		105
An imagination is a wonderful thing unless it morphs into something dangerous that the masses blindly follow, like religion.		103
"Bible Wisdom" (An oxymoron)		102
Time and time again "thoughts and prayers" have failed in spectacular fashion. Yet many continue to use them rather lifting a finger to help another human being in need.		101
Many Christians believe in the seven-headed beast in Revelation (bible future prophecy), but not climate change. And they want to insert their beliefs in public schools' science books? Any school administrator with a sound mind should take a hard pass on that!		100
Life is immensely more valuable to those who view it as finite than by those who cheapen it by proclamations of a so-called after-life.		100
Evangelicals replace what is logical and reasonable with blind faith and irrational dogma. They poison the mind in every sense of the word!		84
Trusting in someone like a pastor or a schizophrenic, who is obviously out of touch with reality, can be a dangerous venture. Keep in mind that both hear voices from things that aren't actually there!		83
Atheism is NOT a religion. Atheists have no special meeting places, no ritualistic acts, no holy book, no pastors, priests, rabbis, or shaman. In fact, we're often from diverse backgrounds with many different interests. What we do have in common, however, is that we do not believe in a god or gods. It's that simple.		82
The Abrahamic god is frequently referred to as a "perfect" being. Yet he is often angry, jealous, and petty. These of course were the imperfect human traits of those who modeled the fictitious deity they created after themselves.		78
It's perfectly okay to receive comfort and joy from fiction as long as you realize that it is fiction!		73
Christianity: When you prefer to believe talking snakes kicked things off and seven-headed dragons will appear in the end times rather than bothering to open up a damn science book!		72
"Isn't killing people in the name of God a pretty good definition of insanity?" -Arthur C. Clarke		70
Seemingly endless conflicts and wars (since the creation of religion) have been fought in the name of whatever gods were popular at the time. Yet not a single battle during these thousands of years has ever been fought in the name of atheism.		69
I'm not sure which time I loved god more: When he had children slaughtered by bears for teasing a bald guy or when he drowned almost the entire population of Earth. It's such a tough choice!		63
Since all of my 5 senses seem to be in working order, "living by faith" would be counterintuitive.		55
"Anything you don't understand, Mr. Rankin, you attribute to God. God for you is where you sweep away all the mysteries of the world, all the challenges to our intelligence. You simply turn your mind off and say God did it." - Carl Sagan		54
As a guide through life, an invisible god is about as useful as an invisible compass.		48
Science doesn't require elaborate stage shows, such as those put on by pastors of mega-churches, to prove that it is true.		47
"Bible question of the day: Did Noah's Ark contain woodpeckers?" -LCC		46
There are none more gullible than those who believe something to be fact without investigation.		44
I thought I saw Jesus once, but that was just my friend "hippy Dave". The resemblance is uncanny when he's in his bathrobe and the sunlight hits him just right!		43
"The fear of the Lord prolongs life. Fearing God is an awesome thing." -Dr. Charles Stanley (mega-church pastor) Personally, I have no fear of fictional characters!		40
If fewer children are indoctrinated into a religion and allowed to think and choose their own path, there would be far less religious people. This is why theists start brainwashing their children at the earliest possible age.		40
