"Churches are to small towns as Starbucks are to cities: there's one on every corner and they all sell the same shit."

"When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours."

"What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof."

"A man is accepted into a church for what he believes and he is turned out for what he knows."

"Mine was a trained Presbyterian conscience and knew but the one duty -- to hunt and harry its slave upon all pretexts and on all occasions, particularly when there was no sense nor reason in it."

"The Church has opposed every innovation and discovery from the day of Galileo down to our own time, when the use of anesthetic in childbirth was regarded as a sin because it avoided the biblical curse pronounced against Eve."

"The motto stated a lie. If this nation has ever trusted in God, that time has gone by; for nearly half a century almost its entire trust has been in the Republican party and the dollar -- mainly the dollar."

"That fear first created the gods is perhaps as true as anything so brief could be on so great a subject."

"If we believe absurdities, we shall commit atrocities."

Christianity is built upon the doctrines of 1) Original Sin, and 2) Vicarious Redemption, which state...

Of the wrong you have not done, you are guilty
Of the wrong you have done, you are innocent

There's a few short and sweet ones here: http://leftofzen.com/quotes-atheism/2008/01/14

This is one of my favorites: "Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion." - Steven Weinberg

Short and sweet: "I believe in God, only I spell it Nature." - Frank Lloyd Wright
