Anybody who gives you a belief system is your enemy, because the belief system becomes the barrier for your eyes, you cannot see the truth.
Rajneesh
Image
I find it more comfortable to say I'm an atheist, and for that I probably have someone like Dawkins to thank.
Jim Al-Khalili
Image
Billions of years ago God was creating universes and life thousands of years ago he was creating angry floods, sin-saving human sacrifices and audible burning bushes. Today he occasionally appears on a piece of toast. To state that God has become reclusive over the years would be an overwhelming understatement.
Trevor Treharne
Image
You can safely assume that you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.
Anne Lamott
Image
Why am I an atheist? The short answer is that I cannot accept any of the alternatives. I simply don't find them believable.
Barbara Smoker
Image
There is joy in the search for knowledge about the universe in all its manifestations.
Janet Asimov
Image
Most guys will fight to know you. Some guys will deny you're a real person, and some will just ignore you. The zealot. The atheist. The agnostic.
Chuck Palahniuk
Image
Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.
Aldous Huxley
Image
I am not an atheist. An atheist is someone who has compelling evidence that there is no Judeo-Christian-Islamic God. I am not that wise, but neither do I consider there to be anything approaching adequate evidence for such a god. Why are you in such a hurry to make up your mind? Why not simply wait until there is compelling evidence?
Carl Sagan
Image
Reality is what it is, not what you want it to be.
Frank Zappa

I was fascinated that one could have such perceptual changes, and also that they went with a certain feeling of significance, an almost numinous feeling. I'm strongly atheist by disposition, but nonetheless when this happened, I couldn't help thinking, 'That must be what the hand of God is like.'
Oliver Sacks
Image
We all - whether naturalists, atheists, Buddhists, or Christians - see the world through the grid of an interpretive framework - and ultimately this interpretive framework is religious in nature, even if not allied with a particular institutional religion.
James K. A. Smith
Image
God must have a weird sense of values, and if there's a Judgment Day, as some folks think, He's going to have a lot to answer for.
Philip Appleman
Image
Religion has ever been anti-human, anti-woman, anti-life, anti-peace, anti-reason and anti-science. The god idea has been detrimental not only to humankind but to the earth. It is time now for reason, education and science to take over.
Madalyn Murray O'Hair
Image
The principal sponsors of the terrorists are not religious fanatics. Palestine's Yasser Arafat, Iraq's Saddam Hussein, and Syria's Assad family have made themselves the icons of Islamism despite the fact that they are well-known atheists who live un-Muslim lives and have persecuted unto death the Muslim movements in their countries.
William F. Buckley, Jr.
Image
I have been reluctant to lobby on other issues I most care about - nuclear weapons (against), religion (atheist), capital punishment (anti), AIDS (fund-raiser) because I don't want to be forever spouting, diluting the impact of addressing my most urgent concern - legal and social equality for gay people worldwide.
Ian Mckellen
Image
In theater or movies you see either 'I'm religious' or 'I'm an atheist.' I've never seen too much discussion of 'I believe there's a higher power but I'm hesitant to reach out to him because I don't know if I'm worthy of his attention.
Zach Braff
Image
Christians often threaten atheists with eternal torture. But if we say that they're delusional, they will tell us that we're being rude.
Mark Thomas
Image
There are relatively few atheists among neurologists and brain surgeons and astrophysicists, but many among psychologists, sociologists, and historians. The reason seems obvious: the first study divine design, the second study human undesign.
Peter Kreeft
Image
The greatest tragedy in mankind's entire history may be the hijacking of morality by religion.
Arthur C. Clarke
Image
For good people to do evil things, it takes religion.
Steven Weinberg
Image
These principles, universally recognized, are at fault when the question of the existence of God is considered what has been said of Him is either unintelligible or perfectly contradictory and for this reason must appear impossible to every man.
Baron d'Holbach
Image
Their [the new atheists] treatment of the religious viewpoint is pathetic to the point of non-being. Richard Dawkins in The God Delusion would fail any introductory philosophy or religion course. Proudly he criticizes that whereof he knows nothing.
Michael Ruse
Image
We are materialists and atheists, and we glory in the fact.
Mikhail Bakunin
