The fear of hell is the basis for the Christian faith.

This crusade to separate church and state is only one expression of my raison d'être. I'm an atheist, but I'm also an anarchist, and a feminist, and an integrationist.

In an unconstitutional partnership with the state, the church can impose the most irresistible, if covert, controls conceivable.

The atheist must abandon his defensive positions, take up the cudgels and go forward, rather than into the retreat of apathy.

But the most heinous crime of the Church has been perpetrated not against churchmen but against churchgoers. With its poisonous concepts of sin and divine punishment, it's warped and brainwashed countless millions. It would be impossible to calculate the psychic damage this has inflicted on generations of children who might have grown up into healthy, happy. productive, zestful human beings but for the burden of antisexual fear and guilt ingrained in them by the Church. This alone is enough to condemn religion.

You hate me because I am the embodiment of all your doubts.

Let's face it: If a son of God was ever born, it was because of this wonderful sex act that Joseph and Mary enjoyed one night.
