*“One might naturally suppose that low intelligence is the main cause of religiosity. After all, thinking is so much harder than believing - hence the great preponderance of believers over thinkers in all ages and cultures. But what can one say when members of that small coterie we identify as thinkers are also believers? Low intelligence is not necessarily the problem.”<ref>http://www.atheists.org/Why_is_Religiosity_so_Hard_to_Cure</ref>

*"We're respectful of the American People's individual rights to practice as they see fit (equal to our rights to do the same), but this does not mean we have to respect the decision.  If you choose to ignore logic and knowledge in order to believe in an invisible magic man in the sky, or Santa Claus for that matter, you've made a '''ridiculous decision''' and we're not going to pretend it's "just another way of looking at things" (original emphasis).<ref>http://www.atheists.org/religion</ref>
