“Radical Muslims fly planes into buildings. Radical Christians kill abortion doctors. Radical Atheists write books.”
Hemant Mehta

“Nothing draws people more quickly away from religion than an open mind.”

“Pastor Ted and other evangelical pastors I hear about in the media seem to perceive just about everything to be a threat against Christianity. Evolution is a threat. Gay marriage is a threat. A swear word uttered accidentally on television is a threat. Democrats are a threat. And so on.

I don't see how any of these things pose a threat against Christianity. If someone disagrees with you about politics, or social issues, or the matter of origins, isn't that just democracy and free speech in action? How do opposing viewpoints constitute a threat?”
Hemant Mehta, I Sold My Soul on eBay: Viewing Faith through an Atheist's Eyes
