The children and teachers in Newtown were not massacred because God has been removed from schools but because guns were taken into one.

The So called "God Particle" is evidence of God in same way as Fairy Cakes are evidence of fairies. In fact it shows how unnecessary God is.

The Church of England behaves as though marriage is Christianity's property but it belongs to humanity and should be every adult's right.

After nearly 2000 years I think that we can fairly say the crucifixion has failed to save the world in any perceivable way.

It is morally better to be an Atheist leading a good life without any expectation of reward than a believer doing so in hope of heaven.

A god who ignored the prayers of holocaust victims and starving children yet helps out on the sports field must be callous beyond imaging.

The problem with religion isn't the fairy tales but the hatred and violence of those who seek to defend their version of those tales.

@richarddawkins Religion~ The world's most pervasive excuse for child abuse.

#Bible has eight mentions of unicorns, twenty-five of dragons, forty-five of Giants & a talking donkey yet Christians deny it's a fairy tale

GOD LOVES YOU but the Flying Spaghetti Monster is much more tasty and is just as likely to exist as God is.

I have absolutely nothing against religion except: the murders in its name, wars, child abuse, misogyny, oppression & distortions of science

Atheism is not a belief. It is the rejection of the most persistent and pervasive causes of oppression in human history.

Atheism is not resentment against God or an act of rebellion but a fundamental statement of freedom from humanity's most persistent delusion

#IAmAnAtheistBecause I have honestly assessed the claims for God and found them deeply flawed, self-contradictory and without evidence

As an atheist I have not rejected God. It is impossible to reject something you find no evidence for or basis to believe in.

There is no evidence religion has made humanity any less cruel or violent but there are countless examples of where it has incited these.

Believers who see Atheism as no more than a longing for God are like addicts who can't imagine anyone living without their addiction.

I give the Bible the same respect as I give to any other book that condones the selling of daughters into slavery, infanticide and genocide.

Religion is like a dodgy insurance policy. The clever bit is that no one can come back from the dead to say they have been swindled.

18 children died in a school shooting in Dunblane Scotland in 1996. UK enacted tough gun laws~Since then 74 such incidents in USA none in UK
