Lovely list. Here's a few more

3. You can't prove god doesn't exist.
4. But you're such a good mother.
5. You should try our church.
6. That hurts me.
7. How can you be so ungrateful?
Like:

- Stalin was an atheist you know.
- Atheist? quickly call the reverend the Devil has entered our house.
- People use evolution to justify racism.
- You must have never been truly a believer.
