The Portable Atheist: Essential Readings for the Nonbeliever

by Christopher Hitchens

name me an ethical statement made or an action performed by a believer that could not have been made or performed by a non-believer.

atheists have always argued that this world is all that we have, and that our duty is to one another to make the very most and best of it.

Religion invents a problem where none exists by describing the wicked as also made in the image of god and the sexually nonconformist as existing in a state of incurable mortal sin that can incidentally cause floods and earthquakes.
