“Atheism is the birth right of all human, remember that!”- hhyapster 7.4.23

"Christian beliefs fail against reason, facts, and knowledge"

"Religion is not about truth, it's about lifestyle"

"God is a convenient explanation for what man does not understand.
The less that's inexplicable, the less need for a 'God' explanation."

"The problem with theism is that it never remains within
the realm of belief, but invariably proceeds to assertion"

Remember that atheists have
the most faith of all..because
they have an origin myth that
is contrary to the laws of
science and is based on pure
fantasy.

Nevertheless it is their FAITH,
and they are true BELIEVERS.

Contrary to all evidence that
says otherwise.

Therefore one must conclude
that, it is their~religious faith.
