A thorough reading and understanding of the Bible is the surest path to atheism. God”as revealed in his book of edicts and narratives”is practically an idiot. He has nothing to say that any sensible person should want to listen to.

"Imagine the people who believe such things and who are not ashamed to ignore, totally, all the patient findings of thinking minds through all the centuries since the Bible was written. And it is these ignorant people, the most uneducated, the most unimaginative, the most unthinking among us, who would make themselves the guides and leaders of us all; who would force their feeble and childish beliefs on us; who would invade our schools and libraries and homes."

The idea of a God is worthless and unprovable."

The […] Christian churches still demand assent to doctrines which no one seriously believes in. The most obvious case is the immortality of the soul."

"To make sure that my blasphemy is thoroughly expressed, 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."
