The Militant Atheist: Time to Kill Religion

The Case Against Religion

There is absolutely no scientific evidence that any God exists or has ever existed.
There is absolutely no scientific evidence that Heaven, Hell, angels, daemons (except maybe for Democrats) exist.
Our current crop of Gods do not have any more basis in reality than the Aztec, Mayan, Inca, Anastasi, Egyptian, Roman and Greek gods.
Now, we have The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost, Elohim, Yahweh, Jehovah and Allah as the more powerful clan of Gods.
Not a single member of the Framingham clergy can provide me with a itsy-bitsy teeny-weenie microscopic scintilla or shred of hard evidence of their imaginary one headed or three headed god outside the bible/torah.

There is absolutely no scientific evidence that there is a transition to another life after death.
You do indeed become worm food if you do not get cremated.
Game over!

Your religion almost invariably comes from your parents.
The religion you have is not based on your need to find truth.
With 90% certainty, you inherited your religion from your parents.
Face it, you were brainwashed as a kid.

Religion is and always has been a major force in stifling scientific progress.
It only took 390 years for the Vatican to forgive Galileo for his heretic assertion that the Earth revolved around the sun in 1615.
Do you think they'll ever forgive Charles Darwin for The Origin of Species?

Religious policies causes the unneccesary death and suffering of millions of people.
Simply by not endorsing condom use, millions of people will acquire sexually transmitted diseases like AIDS.

Religion is the major force for intolerance.
The Bible is repeatedly used to assert religious and racial hatred.
Each religion is intolerant of any other religion and the Bible states clearly that the non-believers should be killed (Luke 19:27).
The Mormons finally accept blacks as real people in 1973 after a Divine Revelation, just before being dragged into the Supreme Court and losing their tax exempt status.

Morality has nothing whatsover to do with religion.
The Bible is pushed as a way to lead a moral life. You should read it very carefully before adopting it.

Religion suppresses equal rights for women.
Do you see women priests in the Catholic church?
Do you want your wife to wear a burqa?
The Bible clearly states that women are property. ( Corinthian 11:8-9, Tim 2:12 )

The Holy Inquisition and the Crusades were both faith based initiatives.
Both the Inquisition and the Crusades allowed religions to kill, slaughter and torture 1.5 million of their opponents in the name of their loving and compassionate God.
The 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington DC were also faith based initiatives.

There is no actual evidence or records that Jesus ever existed.
All biblical references to Jesus were written 40-300 years later as hearsay.

There is no actual archeological evidence of The Exodus.

There is no archeological evidence of Noah's Ark.

There are some 30,000 Christian sects alone.

None can agree with each other over one Bible.
Can't we all just get along?

Religion teaches children that the most important role in their current life is simply to audition for their next life.

The religious zealots are killing themselves and us over the issue of who has a more powerful imaginary friend sky fairy.

The religious zealots expect us, the rationalists (a.k.a. atheists) to prove that God does not exist. It is they, the religious zealots, that have made the biblical assertion that their God does exist. Such an extraordinary claim must come with extraordinary evidence. They have had 3,000 years to develop such evidence and have yet to uncover a shred or scintila of evidence, but they question evolution, even as evolution has become a secure fact of science over the last 150 years.
We atheists are not going to bomb anybody, behead them, stone them, burn them at the stake, crucify them, or fly planes into their skyscrapers, just because of a theological disagreement.

Imagine No Religion

Nothing to kill or die for.
The concept of Jews, Muslims, Catholics, Protestants disappear.

Scientific advancement would accelerate significantly.
We could focus on science to solve our problems as we remain stuck on The Pale Blue Dot.
All the time, money and effort spent on superstitious beliefs could be focused on building a better world for yourself.

No more supernatural fearmongering. No more morbid fixation on what happens after death.
