Human beings are still fish.

Very clever people are often very clever at creating rationalisations for insane beliefs.

Science provides tangible evidence of its accuracy and importance. Religion makes excuses for its absence of the same.

We are not princes of the earth, we are the descendants of worms, and any nobility must be earned.

Rational people have better things to do than grant unwarranted credibility to every half-assed delusion.

If you've got a religious belief that withers in the face of observations of the natural world, you ought to rethink your beliefs - rethinking the world isn't an option.

The mediocrity principle simply states that you aren't special. The universe does not revolve around you; this planet isn't privileged in any unique way; your country is not the perfect product of directed, intentional fate; and that tuna sandwich you had for lunch was not plotting to give you indigestion.
