Quotes

• “There are no gods (including God). Like all species, ours is a product of nature. This is not something either to celebrate or to mourn. But it can prove a transformational and mind-opening experience to put all gods, religions and supernatural enthusiasms aside and to explore the world from the point of view of a human being who lives, dies, and is as natural as a tiger or a dove.”
• “The atheist’s way is your way. You will take your journey, and it will not be identical to my journey.”
• “You are free to cut off contact with toxic people and to eliminate toxic beliefs from your system.”
• “There are so many believers with good hearts! But that doesn’t make their belief systems any less faulty or, ultimately, dangerous.”
• “The god religions, the river religions, and the world of supernatural enthusiasms do not serve you. They force you to rein in your intelligence, they make claims that you do not honestly believe, they smell of illegitimate shortcut, and they hurt your chances of taking a fearless inventory of your beliefs and charting a course that will make you proud.”
• “That is what is in our hearts when we conclude that the universe is meaningless. We don’t doubt that it has order, but we recognize that it is not our parent, our sponsor, or our caretaker.”
