is a principled and informed decision to reject belief in God.

By 'atheist,' I mean precisely what the word has always been understood to mean a principled and informed decision to reject belief in God' (McGrath 2004: 175)

is a problematic term because it mirrors the certitude of religion. In truth, none of us know, and rather than turn to silly stories and ancient myths, it is better for us to man up and say we don't know.

I don't say that I'm an atheist. I don't like that term, because I think it mirrors the certitude of religion. I say I don't know. And if you don't know - and you don't - just man up and say you don't know. Don't turn to silly stories and ancient myths. Bill Maher

is a term that should not even exist. No one ever needs to identify himself as a 'non-astrologer' or a 'non-alchemist'.

In fact, 'atheism' is a term that should not even exist. No one ever needs to identify himself as a 'non-astrologer' or a 'non-alchemist.' We do not have words for people who doubt that Elvis is still alive or that aliens have traversed the galaxy only to molest ranchers and their cattle.

is a true piety towards the universe in that it denies only those Gods that are fashioned by men in their own image to be servants of their human interests.

My atheism, like that of Spinoza, is true piety towards the universe and denies only gods fashioned by men in their own image to be servants of their human interests. George Santayana (1922)

is a very pernicious monster in those who govern.

Atheism is a very pernicious monster in those who govern... that it is also pernicious in the persons around statesmen, although their lives may be innocent, because from their cabinets it may pierce right to the statesmen themselves... that if it is not so deadly as fanaticism, it is nearly always fatal to virtue. . . .Some geometers who are not philosophers have rejected final causes, but real philosophers admit them... a catechist proclaims God to the children, and Newton demonstrates Him to the learned.

is accomplished only by going through Christianity. Without an authentic theological experience of out of joint of this world we are in is not it, you are less a materialist you claim to be, but a perverted spiritualist.

only by going through christianity can you be a radical athiest. without this authentic theological theological experience of out of joint of this world we are in is not it, even if you pretend to be a materialist, you end up being a cheap perverted spiritualist-

is alone able to serve God in a way that amounts to one of the most exquisite pleasures of human love... namely, to serve the loved one without his knowing it.

One of the most exquisite pleasures of human love - to serve the loved one without his knowing it - is only possible, as regards the love of God, through atheism. Simone Weil
