If a person believes only because he fears being called a fool if he does not, then he already is one.
A faith that requires frequent revival is obviously unhealthy.
As long as there are fundamentalists to expose the silly side of religion, atheists will never need to recruit.
How can anyone know a universal God if his feeble comprehension of the universe extends no further than the prejudices of his own little tribe?
Losing religion might seem the end of one's world; but indeed, it may well be the beginning.
The power of faith is the friend of stupidity.
One night I prayed to know the truth. The next morning I found I was an atheist.
If atheists believed that there was something to pray to, they would pray for the deliverance of fundamentalists of all persuasions from the frightful and demeaning confusion born of prideful ignorance of the world about them.
Religion's role is to teach traditional morality; it is no more equipped to teach science, history, or ethics than it is to teach physics or calculus.
Had the telescope and microscope been invented first, religion would not have prospered.
The theologian's greatest difficulty in ascertaining the nature of the universe is his insistence upon viewing it through a stained-glass window.
If atheism can endure without government endorsement, shouldn't any religion worth believing be expected to do likewise?
Any self-respecting God would consider political support for its religion an insult.
