I found these comments at the New York Times, written by normal people, aka atheists.

"Religion does nothing besides creating false comfort and tribalism. Christianity, Islam, and Judaism collectively contribute nothing to the betterment of our real world. The path to human development must begin with the wholesale abandonment of religion."

"Since humans first swung out of the trees, history is filled with thousands of gods that humankind has created for itself. Starting with the first one they have all been real until the next new god came along and made the previous gods obsolete, right up to the present day. Gods provide simple answers for difficult questions and are provided with mystical and magical powers to rule over everything. Humans have always wanted to believe this nonsense despite the lack of a shred of evidence to prove what they believe. Just remember all gods and religions have been created by man with no proof of their existence. Humankind has been very foolish for millennia."
