"In the past 10,000 years, humans have devised roughly 100,000 religions based on roughly 2,500 gods. So the only difference between myself and the believers is that I am skeptical of 2,500 gods whereas they are skeptical of 2,499 gods." We're only one God away from total agreement."
Your god is too small for my universe.

An Atheist loves himself and his fellow man instead of a god.

"God is dead. Let us not understand by this that he does not exist or even that he no longer exists. He is dead. He spoke to us and is silent. We no longer have anything but his cadaver. Perhaps he slipped out of the world, somewhere else like the soul of a dead man. Perhaps he was only a dream…God is dead."

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.
"The idea of God implies the abdication of human reason and justice; it is the most decisive negation of human liberty and necessarily ends in the enslavement of mankind both in theory and practice. He who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity."
The prayer of the agnostic: O God, if there is a God, save my soul if I have a soul.
I am my own God. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.

The God of hell should be held in loathing, contempt and scorn. A god who threatens eternal pain should be hated, not loved; cursed, not worshipped. A heaven presided over by such a god must be below the meanest hell.
God is a gross answer, an indelicacy against us thinkers”at bottom merely a gross prohibition for us: you shall not think!
Death is the inventor of God.
We are each free to believe what we want, and its my view that the simplest explanation is; there is no God. No one created our universe, and no one directs our fate.
The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish.
"I hereby state my opinion that the notion of a god is a basic superstition, that there is no evidence for the existence of any god(s), that devils, demons, angels and saints are myths, that there is no life after death, heaven nor hell, that the Pope is a dangerous, bigoted, medieval dinosaur, and that the Holy Ghost is a comic‐book character worthy of laughter and derision."

In spite of all the yearnings of men, no one can produce a single fact or reason to support the belief in God and in personal immortality.
Everything that is doddering, squinteyed, infamous, sullying, and grotesque is contained for me in this single word: God.
I have never seen the slightest scientific proof of the religious ideas of heaven and hell, of future life for individuals, or of a personal God. So far as religion of the day is concerned, it is a damned fake... Religion is all bunk.
"The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadoma"sochistic, capriciously malevolent bully."

"Man must learn to live in an alien world that is deaf to his music and is as indifferent to his hopes as it is to his sufferings or his crimes . . . Man at last knows that he is alone in the unfeeling immensity of the universe, out of which he emerged only by chance."
It is very important not to mistake hemlock for parsley, but to believe or not believe in God is not important at all.
