An atheist's credo





A new beginning

How do you live when you realize that religion is false?

No-one can avoid them

7.5: The pursuit of happiness
There is no higher goal

Who comes first?

Nature inspires awe

Let's all celebrate

If God existed, he would...

admire the beauty of a universe that he did not create

recognize that eternity is meaningless

deny both heaven and hell

disown all men and women who speak in his name

denounce the harm caused by religious "morality"

help the human race to thrive without him

If God existed, he would be an atheist.
