God is an idea that people believe in and I spend time arguing with people that subscribe to that idea(man made idea).

It doesn't hurt my feeling when I get vilified by fundamentalist religious people. I've actually made comedy out of it. I've made light of that.

To an honest judge, the alleged convergence between religion and science is a shallow, empty, hollow, spin-doctored sham.

The hypothesis of God offers no worthwhile explanation for anything, for it simply postulates what we are trying to explain.

Although atheism might have been logically tenable before Darwin, Darwin made it possible to be an intellectually fulfilled atheist.

I do think imagination is enormously valuable, and that children should be encouraged in their imagination. That's very true.

It is immoral to brand children with religion. 'This is a Catholic child.' 'That is a Muslim child.' I want everyone to flinch when they hear such a phrase, just as they would if they heard, 'That is a Marxist child.'
