“Atheism is not the negation of anything. You don’t have to negate what no one can prove exists. No, atheism is a very positive affirmation of man’s ability to think for himself, to do for himself, to find answers to his own problems.” (Madalyn Murray-O’Hair)  Read

“I was brought up a Christian, low church, and I like the community of church going. That’s rather been replaced for me by the community of people I work with. I like a sense of family, of people working together, But I’m an atheist. So God, is she exists, isn’t really part of my life.” (Sir Ian McKellen)  Read

"Religion is a fundamentally flawed worldview which blocks social progress, stands in the way of human and racial equality and is an obstacle to scientific progress and objective truth. After all and after so many centuries, if there was any credibility to the various claims made by the world's major religions to be conduits for the will of God, they surely wouldn't all be in their current mess."

Ian R. MacLeod
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

“Do you think I’m going to paradise? Of course not; I wouldn’t go if I was asked. I don’t want to live in some fucking celestial North Korea, for one thing, where all I get to do is praise the Dear Leader from dawn to dusk.” (Christopher Hitchens)  Read

‘The answer to this is very simple. It was a joke. It had to be an ordinary, smallish number, and I chose that one. Binary representations, base thirteen, Tibetan monks are all complete nonsense. I sat at my desk, stared into the garden, and thought, ‘42 will do.’ I typed it out. End of story.’ - Douglas Adams, putting to rest notions of any deeper meanings behind 42 in Hitchhiker’s.
