Atheist Quotes
-
I'm an agnostic trending toward atheist and resist, in particular, Christian interpretations and imagery.
Jeff Vandermeer

I do not share the crusading spirit of the professional atheist whose fervor is mostly due to a painful act of liberation from the fetters of religious indoctrination received in youth.

I still don't like the word agnostic. It's too fancy. I'm simply not a believer. But, as simple as this notion is, it confuses some people.

This gets us back to that most pressing of human questions: why do people worry so much about other people's holding beliefs other than their own?
Alan Alda

Alfred Edgar Coppard
-
A lot of people, to attack an outspoken atheist, one of the things they'll do is say, 'You are as bad as the fundamentalist Christians.' And my answer is always, 'I hope so.'
