"It is Christianity, not atheism, that diminishes the real value and meaning of life. We atheists find purpose in the world as it is, and in our real lives; we see living beings as valuable in their own right, deserving of our concern and compassion simply because they share our capacity for pain and pleasure".
"After all, if the only valuable thing about existence is that God gave it to us, then that must mean the gift is not worth having in its own right".
"Theistic religion reduces life to something that has no value other than as the creation of an imagined deity".
"It is time to abandon this baseless worldview. It is time to reject theistic religion and start viewing ourselves and others with real dignity, as beings with value in our own right and not just as the distorted shadows of a fictional creator". 'HERE HERE'.
‘How do atheists find meaning in life?’ - - The Washington Post
Thye Washington Post On Faith is one of the better religion sections, certainly better than CNN Belief Blog and Huff Po Religion. Awesome Sue,
