"Atheism is not a religion. It doesn't mean I lack morals. It doesn't mean I worship Satan.
It doesn't mean your god failed to grant my wishes. It isn't a reaction to being hurt by religion. It doesn't mean my life is empty.
It just means I don't believe in the existence of gods."

And there’s no reason I should.
“SIN IS A MYTH
Sin is a transgression of a divine or religious law. It requires prior belief in a god. To believe in sin is to also adhere to an unproven concept that there is not only a supernatural being who has power over the earth and its inhabitants, but that it is also overly concerned with the thoughts and actions of mere mortals, enough to eternally torture all those who do not align with it.”
-- Jacqueline Hadley
Disbelief in gods is 100% effective at eliminating sin once and for all.
The Power of Reason
“Once you realize that there is no god in the cosmos arranging things individually for humans and that the stars themselves do not align destiny or predict it, you learn that everything in life is merely a result of either your decisions or the choices of others. No one is predestined, nothing is set, there is no divine will, and life is full of accidents, mistakes, and opportunities. Everything in life does not happen for a reason, it just happens. What you learn from it and choose to do with it, however, is entirely up to you.”
