When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realised that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me. |

One of the greatest tragedies in mankind’s entire history may be that morality was hijacked by religion. |

A religious text should ideally not extend past three pages. Any longer and it tends to contradict itself. |

Primates often have trouble imagining a universe not run by an angry alpha male |

A good king inspires loyalty. An evil tyrant demands blind obediance. A good king allows those who do not want to serve him leave in peace. An evil tyrant kills and tortures those who will not be slaves. This is why I could never be christian. |

I'd be more willing to accept religion, even if I didn't believe it, if I thought it made people nicer to each other but I don't think it does. |

Christianity is the most perverted system that ever shone on man. |

If god created my brain I'm certain he approves of its usage. |

Suppose we've chosen the wrong god. Every time we go to church we're just making him madder and madder |

Koranic teaching still insists that the sun moves around the earth. How can we advance when they teach things like that? |

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends! Well I say there are some things we don't want to know! Important things! |

When women understand that governments and religions are human inventions; that Bibles, prayer-books, catechisms, and encyclical letters are all emanations from the brains of man, they will no longer be oppressed by the injunctions that come to them with the divine authority of "Thus sayeth the Lord." |

The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully. |

I say Creationists absolutely should be able to open their own schools. But only if they can build them in six days. |

Leaving your religion and having to invent your own system of values is a big deal, after all. |

A man without reason is no better than a mad dog, and mad dogs must be put down for the good of everyone. |

The beauty of religious mania is that it has the power to explain everything. Once God (or Satan) is accepted as the first cause of everything which happens in the mortal world, nothing is left to chance...logic can be happily tossed out the window |

The difference between faith and insanity is that faith is the ability to hold firmly to a conclusion that is incompatible with the evidence, whereas insanity is the ability to hold firmly to a conclusion that is incompatible with the evidence. |

Dear Lord, you have been good to me. For the first time in my life, everything is absolutely perfect just the way it is. So here's the deal: You freeze everything the way it is, and I won't ask for anything more. If that is OK, please give me absolutely no sign. OK, deal. In gratitude, I present you this offering of cookies and milk. If you want me to eat them for you, give me no sign. Thy will be done. |

If god created man in his own image, how come I'm not invisible? |

You believe in a book that has talking animals, wizards, witches, demons, sticks turning into snakes, food falling from the sky, people walking on water, and all sorts of magical, absurd and primitive stories, and you say that we are the ones that need help? |

For god so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever would believe in him would believe in anything. |

You'll never find a dead Christian in a foxhole who didn't pray. |

Faith is the surrender of the mind, it's the surrender of reason, it's the surrender of the only thing that makes us different from other animals. It's our need to believe and to surrender our skepticism and our reason, our yearning to discard that and put all our trust or faith in someone or something, that is the sinister thing to me. ... Out of all the virtues, all the supposed virtues, faith must be the most overrated |

In the absence of fear there is little faith. |

Although the far territory of the extreme can exert an intoxicating pull on susceptible individuals of all bents, extremism seems to be especially prevalent among those inclined by temperament or upbringing toward religious pursuits. Faith is the very antithesis of reason, injudiciousness a crucial component of spiritual devotion. And when religious fanaticism supplants ratiocination, all bets are suddenly off. |

The longer I have been an atheist, the more amazed I am that I ever believed Christian notions. |
| Christianity Etc › Re: Atheist Quotes. by AlfaSeltzer(op): 10:19am On Jun 07, 2013 |
The idea that the Christian god is just, is directly contradicted by the idea that the Christian god is merciful. Perfect justice and any mercy are necessarily directly in contradiction, because mercy is a suspension of justice. |

If Atheism is a religion, then health is a disease! |
