atheist quote	context
Christianity is an insult to the wisdom of the nineteenth century. To place before its progress and development a leader, ruler, king, saviour, god, whose knowledge was less than a modern five year old school girl, is an outrage upon humanity. - Ella E. Gibson (1870)		9
The opposite of the religious fanatic is not the fanatical atheist but the gentle cynic who cares not whether there is a god or not. -Eric Hoffer		9
"Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and tortuous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistant that we call it the word of a demon than the word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind; and, for my part, I sincerely detest it, as I detest everything that is cruel." [Thomas Paine, _The Age of Reason_]		9
At the core of all well-founded belief, lies belief that is unfounded -Wittgenstein		9
Atheism imposes no dogma and seeks no power over others - George Ricker		9
The more I study religions, the more I am convinced that man never worshipped anything but himself. Richard Francis Burton		9

But in the [US constitution's] First Amendment's success lies a great danger to our liberties. If we never question our religions or their motives, they will ultimately destroy our freedom to do so. [William H. Reynolds, Creationism: The Fossil Record and the Flood]		1 11
Give a man with a death wish a bottle of whisky and a loaded gun, you get a dead body. Give a martyr a quote from scripture and a pocket full of prayers and you get a room full of corpses. Kevis Hendrickson		2 13
Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods then you will be gone but you will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones. --- Marcus Aurelius		2 13
The priest said faith was a pair of winged silver slippers that could carry one to the kingdom of heaven, as he bent to adjust the empty Kleenex boxes on his feet - Ralph Metusi		8
It's religion, it's stupid.		8
Inhumanity is part of religion as much as suffering is a part of stories. The Bible is crafted in cruelty. - Ralph Metusi		8

Missionary zeal stems neither from intellectual belief, nor theological argument, but from a desire for affirmation of a personal acceptance of the unsatisfactory and self-contradictory religious position. - Ralph Metusi		8
The Creationist's Rebuttal (of Darwin) - courtesy Lewis G. Carroll 'Contrariwise,' continued Tweedledee, 'if it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic.'		8
A Sunday school is a prison in which children do penance for the evil conscience of their parents.- H. L. Mencken		8
There is no such source and cause of strife, quarrel, fights, malignant opposition, persecution, and war, and all evil in the state, as religion. Let it once enter into our civil affairs, our government soon would be destroyed. Let it once enter our common schools, they would be destroyed. Those who made our Constitution saw this, and used the most apt and comprehensive language in it to prevent such a catastrophe. • Supreme Court of Wisconsin Weiss v. District Board, March 18, 1890		8
Violence is a disease, a disease that corrupts all who use it regardless of the cause. â€• Chris Hedges		8
It's a long season and you gotta trust it. I've tried 'em all, I really have, and the only church that truly feeds the soul, day in, day out, is the Church of Baseball. - Annie Savoy, Bull Durham		8
When you etch your moral code in stone, you have no room for editing. You leave open the possibility that, as our ethical views evolve, your code becomes less relevant. You could find yourself with four of ten divine moral laws describing how to treat God and zero that prohibit rape or slavery. â€• David G. McAfee		8
A government cannot be premised on the belief that all persons are created equal when it asserts that God prefers some. • Harry A. Blackmun		8
I dip my forefinger in the watery blood of your impotent mad redeemer, and write over his thorn-torn brow: The true prince of evil- the king of the slaves. â€• Anton LaVey		8
Gods are fragile things; they may be killed by a whiff of science or a dose of common sense.- Chapman Cohen		8
I understand that the world was nothing: a mechanical chaos of casual, brute enmity on which we stupidly impose our hopes and fears. I understood that, finally and absolutely, I alone exist. all the rest, I saw, is merely what pushes me, or what I push against, blindly - as blindly as all that is not myself pushes back. I create the whole universe, blink by blink. â€• John Gardner, Grendel		8

I may grow rich by an art I am compelled to follow; I may recover health by medicines I am compelled to take against my own judgment; but I cannot be saved by a worship I disbelieve and abhor - Thomas Jefferson		1 10
Christianity has fought, still fights, and will fight science to the desperate end over evolution, because evolution destroys utterly and finally the very reason Jesus' early life was supposedly made necessary.

For two millennia they stood still, patiently praying and opposing the disbelievers, and nothing miraculous happened. No new information arose, no new knowledge was added. All the while, humanity, technology and the world sped them by.		7
It is an infantile superstition of the human spirit that virginity would be thought a virtue and not the barrier that separates ignorance from knowledge.â€• Voltaire		7

I agree with this. Even though I have always been an atheist, I have looked at evidence of the possibility of God or other gods. I have found no actual evidence, just lunatics that pretended that the text was written by God, looking to control.

â€• Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason

Whether by design or accident, Man is the worst thing that could ever have happened to this planet.

Apart - maybe - from its total destruction.

If I were granted omnipotence, and millions of years to experiment in, I should not think Man much to boast of as the final result of all my efforts - Bertrand Russell

This statement takes the discussion of God and religion out of the irrational realm of the quasi-mysterious/spiritual and into a practical discussion of child rearing. A discussion which can can be addressed with logical discussion.

If religion were true, its followers would not try to bludgeon their young into an artificial conformity; but would merely insist on their unbending quest for truth...
