Atheists as Victims of Organized Religions

From the greatest, the brightest, and the most admirable woman I have ever met:

"I'll tell you what you did with unbelievers for about 1500 years. You outlawed them from the universities, or any teaching careers, besmirched their reputations, banned or burned their books or their writings of any kind, drove them into exile, humiliated them, seized their properties, arrested them for blasphemy. You dehumanized them with beatings and exquisite torture, gouged out their eyes, slit their tongues, stretched, crushed, or broke their limbs, tore off their breasts if they were a woman, crushed their scrotums if they were men, imprisoned them, stabbed them, disemboweled them, hung them, burnt them alive. And you have the nerve enough to complain to me that I laugh at you." Dr. Madalyn Murray O'Hair, Founder "American Atheists, Inc." Poch Suzara, member, 1982-1986
