religion is to misogyny as disease is to misery - not the sole cause, but a significant contributor
PZ MyersFAITH. No one word personifies the absolute worst and most wicked properties of religion better than that. Faith is mind-rot. Itโs the poison that destroys critical thinking, undermines evidence, and leads people into lives dedicated to absurdity. Itโs a parasite regarded as a virtue. I speak as a representative of the scientific faction of atheism: itโs one thing we simply cannot compromise on. Faith is wrong.

PZ MyersMost of what happens in the world is just a consequence of natural, universal laws- laws that apply everywhere and to everything, with no special exemptions or amplifications for your benefit- given variety by the input of chance. Everything that you as a human being consider cosmically important is an accident.
