Religion is defined as belief in and worship of a controlling power and atheism is precisely not that.
Religion is insanity by consensus.
This is why rational people - anti-religionists - must end their timidity and come out of their closet and assert themselves.
Faith means making a virtue out of not thinking. It's nothing to brag about; and those who preach faith and enable and elevate it are intellectual slaveholders - keeping mankind in a bondage to fantasy and nonsense that has spawned so much lunacy and destruction.
The Bible looks like it started out as a game of Mad Libs.
If conservatives don't want to be seen as bitter people who cling to their guns and religion and anti-immigrant sentiments, they should stop being bitter and clinging to their guns, religion and anti-immigrant sentiments.
Atheism is a religion the way abstinence is a sex position.
If you ignore every single thing Jesus told you to do, you are just auditing. You're not a Christian.
Let's face it; God has a big ego problem. Why do we always have to worship him?
One of the advantages of atheism is takes so little of your time.
I don't know anyone less Jesus like than Christians.
The plain fact is: religion must die for mankind to live.
Americans are finally coming to a point where they're accepting of religious criticism, is because George Bush is the first president who really put religion so front-and-center. He's the most Christ-y president we've ever had - and he is, not uncoincidentally, the biggest disaster we've ever had. I think even people who are religious don't like it shoved down their throat. I think people kind of get it on a certain level, that this is an antiscience administration, and we're living in a time where we can't afford to be antiscience - for environmental reasons, for educational reasons.
I was brought up Catholic and we show my mom, my mother, my sister and then I take pains to explain on camera, that there were years after that where I wasn't really religious. I certainly wasn't a Catholic anymore, but I still lived with some mythical man in my head. I didn't really put a name to a face, but I just knew that if I was in trouble or scared I would go, 'Oh God, please help me get out of this one.'
