An Aheist's Thought

Just came across Save America From Itself--an atheist Harry Bathwater's blog, I am feeling quite interesting and reasonable. Below are selected excerpts from one of its posts:

The world is heading in a dangerous direction and it's because of this pernicious belief in god.

A belief in god shows a dramatic lack of understanding of the real world.

We have created god for two reasons.

1. It is a way of explaining things we don't understand. Death, the weather etc.

2. It is a fantastic way for a lot of people to make a living.

God and the devil is a "carrot and stick" designed to make us do what someone else wants us to do and there a lot of people in the world telling us we need to contribute to their church to please god. It is the biggest confidence trick ever.
