Richard Dawkins

Science is the ultimate truth-seeking enterprise.

We are all just temporary vessels for our genes.

The idea of God is a delusion.

Reason and evidence are our only guides.

The world is a much more interesting place without God.

Evolution is a blind watchmaker, not a divine one.

I am not afraid of death. I am afraid of wasting my life.

The universe is a grand, impersonal machine.

Science is the antidote to superstition.

The selfish gene theory is not about selfishness in a moral sense.

Religion is a comfort blanket for those who are afraid of the truth.

The beauty of the natural world is enough to inspire awe, without needing a creator.

I am a scientist, and I follow the evidence wherever it leads.

The human brain is a product of evolution, and it is capable of incredible things.

There is no meaning to life other than what we create for ourselves.

The universe is a vast and mysterious place, and we are just beginning to understand it.

Religion holds humanity back.

The power of natural selection is immense.

I am an optimist about the future of science.

The world is a better place when we rely on reason, not faith.
