What is your favorite atheist quote?

"It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring."

-Carl Sagan

Not really an atheist quote, but a quote from a non-believer about hatred based on religion.

“There’s a story in the paper about a politician called Greg Barker, who they found out he was gay, and because he’s conservative, now he has to quit his job. I’m tired of all this, it’s happening a lot. So I thought, go back to when God made Adam and Eve, and just go, ‘That’s quite good that. Leave that, and in this garden, do Rick and Mick. And in this garden do Sue and Janet, and in this garden, do Pete. He’s just happy on his own.’ And I think if that’s how society started, people would be a lot nicer.”

— Jon Richardson, Comedian, genius.

Since atheists don't care to listen much to those who would "preach to the choir," we don't generally pay attention to "atheist quotes." We have our own minds and we exercise our right to think. Such freedoms scare religionists.

That said, I rather like this one: "Religion is an illusion and it derives its strength from its readiness to fit in with our instinctual wishful impulses." (Sigmund Freud)

Athiesm is a religion like bald is a hair color.

Who is God?

You know when you want something really bad and you close your eyes and wish for it?

God is the guy who ignores you.

"Go, now, attack Amalek, and deal with him and all that he has under the ban. Do not spare him, but kill men and women, children and infants, oxen and sheep, camels and asses." (1 Samuel 15:3)

Gotta love that 'kind & loving' God...

"All claim to special righteousness fills me with that disgust and anger which are ill-suited to the philosophical mind."

Morality is doing what is right regardless of what you are told. Religion is doing what you are told regardless of what is right.

"The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt." - Bertrand Russell

"Two working hands accomplishes much more than a thousand hands clasped in prayer"

"My religion is kindness"- the Dalai Lama
