Like most    skillful turns of phrase, they all sound good. But    there are many I disagree with, for example    All thinking men are atheists (Ernest    Hemmingway).  <\/p>\n<p>    Or consider this Julian    Baggini quote: Goblins, hobbits truly everlasting    gobstoppers God is just one of the things that atheists dont    believe in, it just happens to be the thing that, for    historical reasons, gave them their name. Actually, no.    Perhaps we could say that God is just one of many things that    naturalists dont believe in, or something like that,    but atheism is defined only by a lack of belief in    gods.  <\/p>\n<p>    There are hundreds of other atheism quotes to choose from, but    these are the ones that strike me most deeply right now.  <\/p>\n<p>    When you understand    why you dismiss    all the other    possible gods, you will    understand why I dismiss yours.  <\/p>\n<p>    Stephen    Roberts  <\/p>\n<p>    When I was a kid I had an imaginary friend and I    used to think that he went everywhere with me, and that I could    talk to him and that he could hear me, and that he could grant    me wishes and stuff. And then I grew up, and I stopped going to    church.  <\/p>\n<p>    Jimmy    Carr  <\/p>\n<p>    Believe nothing,    No matter where you read it,    Or who has said it,    Not even if I have said it,    Unless it agrees with your own reason    And your own common sense.  <\/p>\n<p>    Buddha  <\/p>\n<p>    To understand via the heart is not to understand.  <\/p>\n<p>    Michel de    Montaigne  <\/p>\n<p>    I dont know if God exists, but it would be better for His    reputation if He didnt.  <\/p>\n<p>    Jules    Renard  <\/p>\n<p>    Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day; teach a man to    fish and he will eat for a lifetime; give a man religion and he    will die praying for a fish.  <\/p>\n<p>    Anonymous  <\/p>\n<p>    Do not pass by my epitaph, traveler.    But having stopped, listen and learn, then go your way.    There is no boat in Hades, no ferryman Charon,    No caretaker Aiakos, no dog Cerberus.    All we who are dead below    Have become bones and ashes, but nothing else.    I have spoken to you honestly, go on, traveler,    Lest even while dead I seem talkative to you.  <\/p>\n<p>    Ancient Roman    tombstone  <\/p>\n<p>    An atheist doesnt have to be someone who thinks he has a proof    that there cant be a god. He only has to be someone who    believes that the evidence on the God question is at a similar    level to the evidence on the werewolf question.  <\/p>\n<p>        John McCarthy  <\/p>\n<p>    Men never commit evil so fully and joyfully as when they do it    for religious convictions.  <\/p>\n<p>    Blaise    Pascal  <\/p>\n<p>    Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise    as false, and by rulers as useful.  <\/p>\n<p>        Anonymous  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>See original here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/commonsenseatheism.com\/?p=343\" title=\"Top 10 Atheism Quotes - Common Sense Atheism\">Top 10 Atheism Quotes - Common Sense Atheism<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> There are hundreds of great atheism quotes out there.
