Atheist Republic should promote books by Ayaan Hirsi Ali

So called ‘Islamic Scholars’ convince young people that life on earth is just a ‘waiting room’ for a much better life which comes after death.

It is important that atheists campaign to take religion out of education. In particular, madrassas should not be allowed in Europe.

While people have a right to their beliefs, their belief is not proof that they are right. Religious people believe the contentions of their creed are true, but have no compelling evidence or irrefutable argument that supports their claims.

I have been ridiculed for leaving church. Most of my Christian friends and family do not want to know why I left, they are more interested in telling me what will happen to me according to their religious beliefs.

I am not bigoted against anyone except bigots.

I have been criticised by my fellow skeptics for being too dogmatic, but since I work in an environment where decisions must be rapidly made on often limited information ( viz the emergency department) it becomes a normal way of functioning intellectually after 40 yrs.
