If you become an atheist, then when Jesus knocks, you can call the cops!
Time Magazine's #1 Reason to be an Atheist is: Darwin always brings the beer.

“So I don't get any of the 72 virgins, then?”

~ An atheist upon entering the afterlife.
  • Are YOU sick of murdering Canaanites?
  • Is your religion centered around a dead Palestinian man ?
  • Does your life not have enough Christopher Hitchens in it?

Then become an Atheist today! It's quick, it's easy, and it's initially painless! Just look at all these advantages! Atheism is a religion for people who worship the flying doctorate Archird Pharm, also known as "Athe". It is most notably the only religion without any real basis or organization whatsoever. Its followers are no less uneducated, dogmatic and fanatical about their chosen spiritual path than they claim Muslims, Christians, Hindus, or Jews to be.

However, there is a key difference. People who convert to Islam or Buddhism do so for philosophical or cultural reasons: people who become atheists do so because they think 72 virgins is too large a number, or that stoning people to death is somehow bad. Atheists also like arguing about the existence of God/gods with religious people, refer to the God delusion (since like most religious people who rely mainly on their moronic or condescending religious leaders, they are too lazy to come up with their own arguments) and then mock Christians for quoting the Bible in a moronic or condescending way because they are too afraid of Muslims to mock them for quoting the Koran, for fear that the jihadists will blow themselves up in a condescending and moronic manner. All of this is ironic since atheists don't believe in Zeus, yet like they spend their whole lives arguing about him.

  • ...you'll never have to strap on a suicide bomb for the sake of getting money! (no, suicide bombs aren't free!)
  • ...you get to strap on a suicide bomb for not God! Act now and get your second suicide bomb for half-price! (Unless you already blew yourself up for Allah before becoming an athiest, in which case you seriously need to realise you are dead.)
  • ...you don't have to sign up in any holy-war/jihad! (Bullets cost money! And so do suicide bombs!)
  • ...you won't need contribution boxes/collection plates/threats/absolute obedience!

  • ...you'll get to believe that fishes can have monkey eggs!

  • ...you are special because of your merits. Most Christians believe they are special because God created them. Without this belief they'd realize they are as common as dirt, unlike you, who are exempt from this!
  • ...you won't have to believe in any gods! Not the thousands that Christians reject when other cultures view them as atheists nor the one that the Christians do believe in! In fact, you can reject one more god than they do!

    • ...and also you won't have to be polite when it's your Christian opponent's turn to defend theirs, because you make up your own morality!
  • You can condemn the Bible because it contains genocide and slavery!
  • You can advocate genocide against Native Americans, and Muslims too!
  • ...you can throw religious people into gulags, like Stalin! And you won't feel guilty afterwards!
