"It takes more faith to be an atheist"
"You just hate god"
Those two are really annoying.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

I hate the statements that basically amount to 'you're not doing it right' like 'you just need to open your heart to Jesus' or 'you need to go to church and pray and god will reveal himself to you.' It's their way of saying that since you have come to a different conclusion than they have, you are doing it incorrectly.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Vacuous is a word that comes to mind.

Basically everything on this list that hasn't already been said:
Christian Clichés
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
