WAKE UP ! OPEN YOUR EYES ! QUESTION EVERYTHING !
Every intelligent rational person has a duty and a responsibility to expose the myths and superstitions that hold humanity bound and enslaved in blind ignorance. Truth is a wonderful journey of discovery and enlightenment, but it requires effort, and YOU are the only person who can make it happen. Whichever way you choose, whether it be by rejecting the rituals and customs of religion, through supporting Secularism, Humanism, or being a benefactor to the Richard Dawkins Foundation, MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

Sam Harris speaks about religion
"From this ignorance of how to distinguish dreams, and other strong fancies, from vision and sense, did arise the greatest part of the religion of the Gentiles in time past, that worshipped satyrs, fawns, nymphs, and the like; and now-a-days the opinion that rude people have of fairies, ghosts, and goblins, and of the power of witches." - Leviathan (1951) - Thomas Hobbes.
"By experience must be understood the entire mental product... Hallucinations, delusions, superstitious imaginations, and fallacies of all kinds are experiences, but experiences misunderstood."
- The Concept Of God - C.S. Peirce.
"In the ages of the rude beginnings of culture, man believed that he was discovering a second real world in a dream, and here is the origin of metaphysics. Without dream, mankind would never have had occasion to invent such a division of the world. The parting of soul and body goes also with this way of interpreting dream; likewise, the idea of a soul's apparitional body: whence, all belief in ghosts, and apparently, too, in gods." - All Too Human - Nietzsche.
"After they had explored all the suns in the universe, and all the planets of all the suns, they realised that there was no other life in the universe, and that they were alone. And they were very happy, because then they knew it was up to them to become all the things they had imagined they would find." - Fifth Of July - Lanford Wilson.
"In an infinite and eternal universe, the point is, anything is possible. The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent. If we can come to terms with this indifference and accept the challenges of life within the boundaries of death, our existence as a species can have genuine meaning and fulfillment. However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light." - Stanley Kubrick.
"They ought to be naked and handsome, and to sing in a mass and dance the old group dances... let the mass be forever pagan." - Lady Chatterley's Lover - D.H. Lawrence.

Richard Dawkins: An Atheist's Call to Arms
SPIRITUAL ABUSE DESTROYS YOUR CHILDREN
R.I.P. MICHELLE - Religion negated your life until it brought about your end. We fight for truth - for everyone who has struggled against the mind controlling death cults of religion; against their denial, guilt, fear, and austere ascetic morality; against their superstitions which have no intrinsic power at all, founded on sanctimony, hypocrisy and repression - repression of free will, free thought, and of all natural appetites and joy. Religion is anti-humanity made manifest.
