religious atheist thinking
I am not even an atheist so much as I am an antitheist; I not only maintain that all religions are versions of the same untruth, but I hold that the influence of churches, and the effect of religious belief is positively harmful.

If so, we cheerfully resolve to mock them, and to give them the lie in their teeth.

And I'm not a student of religion, but I don't find anything in what the principal teachings of Islam that put us in contradiction at all.

It's all these things that-so there's no anti-Islam. George H. W. Bush
