Top 80 Best Short Atheist Quotes A collection of great quotes from people such as Thomas Jefferson, Voltaire, Richard Dawkins, and Gandhi.

(Christopher Hitchens) I am as firmly convinced that religions do harm as I am that they are untrue. (Bertrand Russell) You are a good person because you fear damnation. I am a good person without obligation. (Guillermo Garcia) Morality is doing right, no matter what you are told. Religion is doing what you are told, no matter what is right. (Mencken) It is wrong always and everywhere for anyone to believe anything on insufficient evidence. (William Clifford) I used to believe in God, until I reached the age of reason. (George Carlin) If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name at a Swiss Bank. (Woody Allen) Our god is vengeful! Oh spiteful one, show me who to smite and they shall be smoten. (Homer Simpson) Dear lord: I present you this offering of cookies and milk. If you want me to eat them for you, give me no sign. Thy will be done. (Homer Simpson) Blasphemy is a victimless crime. (Unknown) God is dead! (Friedrich Nietzsche) User: White_Wolf May 29, 2008 7:23 AM
