Silence is an argument in favor of the status quo. A refusal to address an inequity is a strategy for maintaining that inequity.

We live our lives for our life's sake, rather than for illusions about rewards and satisfaction after we're dead.

Religion is an act of sedition against reason. Whatever religion is most seductive and likely to draw in victims to surrender their skepticism is the worst.

Human beings are still fish.

The hypothesis of the supernatural and/or a supreme being is vague, unfounded, and inapplicable in any practical fashion

We godless lack that certainty, and we know the world is a complex place that requires compromise and is not ruled by a moral force - virtue is subject to negotiation, and is found in working together with others to find mutually satisfactory solutions. Good is not absolute, it is an emergent property that arises from successful networks of individuals. It is also something that is measured by evidence: we look at the good that people do, not the promises that they make and never keep, or the lies that dovetail nicely into dogma. Competence is a virtue. Intent is meaningless without action.

Science is not infallible, but it has something religion lacks: a process of testing claims against real-world observations.
