"God is not great"

Please read Christopher Hitchens and it will be immediately apparrent why any religion is a cruel and false hoax; especially the Islamic religion that relies on a 7th century Bedouin culture.

The world is beautiful without religion; we do not need it for any of our morals.

Why, if everything is beautiful in the garden, do we insist on wanting fairies at the bottom of it?

Islamic people come to this country and demand that we be tolerant of their misogyny and unreasonable religious practices and cruelty towards women. They use our ammenities and education/welfare system, but give nothing in return.

We are sleepwalking into the abyss. How many Christian churches are built in islamic countries?

Name one good deed or act that could not have been said or done by someone who is without religion.

We can name countless attrocities that have been committed in the name of religion.
