“Religion is an oppressive force and it harms religious people a hell of a lot more than atheists”
― Noah Lugeons, Diatribes, Volume 2: 50 More Essays from a Scathing Atheist

“Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people! Now let us fight to fulfil that promise! Let us fight to free the world - to do away with national barriers - to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men’s happiness. Soldiers! in the name of democracy, let us all unite!”
― Charlie Chaplin

“If you come to me with faith and get pissed when I ask for evidence, we don’t need to go any further than that.”

“Think about all the people that you love, that you plan on outliving. And next time you say goodbye to them, remind yourself that this could be the last time. And next time you say hello to them, treat them like they just returned from the dead. That’s something you can only do if you let go of the afterlife; when we keep mortality in the front of our minds instead of burying it behind religions and superstitions and pithy bravado. Imagine how beautiful the world would be if we all just admitted that we’re all going to die.”
