Race does not come into it. It is pure religion and culture. Something about the cultural tradition of Jews is way, way more sympathetic to science and learning and intellectual pursuits than Islam. That would have been a fair comparison.
Richard Dawkins

My thoughts, my beliefs, my feelings are all in my brain. My brain is going to rot.

Being an atheist frees you up to live this life properly, happily, and fully.

If you're willing to answer yes to a God outside of nature, then there's nothing inconsistent with God on rare occasions choosing to invade the natural world in a way that appears miraculous.

We admit that we are like apes, but we seldom realise that we are apes. Our common ancestor with the chimpanzees and gorillas is much more recent than their common ancestor with the Asian apes - the gibbons and orangutans. There is no natural category that includes chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans but excludes humans.

There are sincere believers who interpret Genesis 1 and 2 in a very literal way that is inconsistent, frankly, with our knowledge of the universe's age or of how living organisms are related to each other.

We cannot prove that there is no God, but we can safely conclude the He is very, very improbable indeed.

Intelligent life on a planet comes of age when it first works out the reason for its own existence.

Absolutist morality doesn't have to come from religion but usually does.
Richard Dawkins
Image
People who believe in something for which there is not a shred of evidence act on that belief and, above all, impose their beliefs on others, they make me cross, and they make me especially cross when they impose their beliefs on defenceless children.
Richard Dawkins

I don't think God is an explanation at all. It's simply redescribing the problem.
Richard Dawkins

I'm a sucker for nice religious leaders. I fall for it every time.
Richard Dawkins

Organizing atheists is a bit like herding cats They are on the whole too intelligent and independent minded to lend themselves to being herded.

For the first half of geological time our ancestors were bacteria. Most creatures still are bacteria, and each one of our trillions of cells is a colony of bacteria.

We're going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones.

The distribution of species on islands and continents throughout the world is exactly what you'd expect if evolution was a fact. The distribution of fossils in space and in time are exactly what you would expect if evolution were a fact. There are millions of facts all pointing in the same direction and no facts pointing in the wrong direction.
