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.

Satan – 10

Who needs Satan when you have a God like this?

One person believing in a magical man in the sky is madness.

One hundred people believing in a magical man in the sky is a cult.

Dear religious people: Don't worry, when atheists become the majority, we will treat you far better than you have historically treated us when you were the majority.

I see believers killing each other over whose god is better, wiser or more righteous, but I don't see atheists killing each other over who believes less.

Religion prevents our children from having a rational education; religion prevents us from removing the fundamental causes of war; religion prevents us from teaching the ethic of scientific co-operation in place of the old fierce doctrines of sin and punishment. It is possible that mankind is on the threshold of a golden age; but, if so, it will be necessary first to slay the dragon that guards the door, and this dragon is religion. (Bertrand Russell)

If you think your afterlife will be better than your current life, you're not really living. You're just waiting to die.

Gravity is "just a theory" too, anyone who doubts it is welcome to jump out of a ten story window.

What you’re jumping over when you take that leap of faith, is thinking.

Believers wrongly call atheists "hard hearted". But in all honesty, I'd rather have a hardened heart than a stagnant brain.
