One of the first things that lightened my eyes early on. "Who told you that you're going to hell? Religion. Who told you that you are a dirty sinner? Religion. Who told you that you are immoral? Religion. Who offers the cure and way out of all things claimed by...religion? Religion. What is the cure that religion offers? Being part of a religious group, obedience".
Until something outside of religion that actually has credibility and evidence that supports religious claims, I'll continue to ignore what ever religion has to say.
Religion is the problem, the cure and the requirement. So how about we do without religion altogether? No cure required, no requirement to join and no problems to worry about. Done and done.

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.
