My Personal Biases


I might as well declare these, it makes discussion much easier:

  1. I am a nontheist.
  This was not an uninformed decision so please don't try to convert me. I have studied religion & I can debate the finer points of Christianity with accomplished theologians. I chose not to believe, I thank you in advance for respecting my choice.
   In turn, I recognize that religion plays an important part in the lives of many people and promise not to dismiss the personal value of your beliefs just because I don't share them. Absolutely write how-to's about the various practices of your chosen religion & about how religion can help in trying times, but please don't preach. wikiHow isn't a pulpit - preaching rarely fits into the 'how-to' format, and is usually annoying and insulting to those who believe differently.

Quotes on The Subject

  • I will not attack your doctrines nor your creeds if they accord liberty to me. If they hold thought to be dangerous - if they aver that doubt is a crime, then I attack them one and all, because they enslave the minds of men. --Robert Ingersoll
  • Whenever morality is based on theology, whenever the right is made dependent on divine authority, the most immoral, unjust, infamous things can be justified and established.... Morality is then surrendered to the groundless arbitrariness of religion. — Ludwig Feuerbach
  • Religion claims to be in possession of an absolute truth; but its history is a history of errors and heresies. It gives us the promise and prospect of a transcendent world — far beyond the limits of our human experience — and it remains human, all too human. --Ernest Cassirer, "An Essay on Man"
  • Once there was a time when all people believed in God and the church ruled. This time is called the Dark Ages. ~ Richard Lederer
  • I never told my own religion nor scrutinized that of another. I never attempted to make a convert, nor wished to change another's creed. I am satisfied that yours must be an excellent religion to have produced a life of such exemplary virtue and correctness. For it is in our lives, and not from our words, that our religion must be judged. ~ Thomas Jefferson, in a letter to Mrs. H. Harrison Smith (1816)
  • Question with boldness even the existence of a god; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear. -Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), U.S. president. Letter, 10 Aug. 1787.
  • All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian, or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit. -Thomas Paine, founding father of the U.S.
