Richard Dawkins

“The purpose of religion is to explicate and advance revealed truths. Its ethos is therefore different from that of science and rationalism, which seek to discover things rather than to proclaim that the truth has already been found.”

Oliver Kamm

“Outspoken atheists have far more on offer than winning arguments with people who believe in a god. Atheism is also a burgeoning social justice movement that looks to tear down the social structures that have perpetuated injustice for millennia.”

“For critics of Islam, 4:34 is the smoking gun that proves that Islam is misogynistic and intrinsically violent. Read literally, it is as troubling as Koranic verses such as At-Tauba ('The Repentance') 9:5, which states that Muslims should 'slay the pagans wherever ye find them' or Al-Ma'idah ('The Table Spread with Food'), 5:51, which reads, 'Take not the Jews and Christians as friends'.”

Asra Q. Nomani

“Choosing forms of worship from poetic tales.
And at length they pronounc'd that the Gods had order'd such things.
Thus men forgot that All deities reside in the human breast.”

William Blake1757 – 1827
