A Devil's Chaplain

Now I am absolutely convinced
That the main source of hatred in the world is religion
And organized religion
And I think it should be, religion
Treated with ridicule and hatred and contempt
And I claim that right

Religion poisons everything
It infect us in our most basic integrity

It is a horrible idea that there is somebody who own us
Who makes us, who supervises us
To demand this, to wish this to be true
Is to wish to live as an abject slave

If you don’t consider me an enemy
You don’t know an enemy when you see or hear one

You better off thinking for yourself and taking all the risks
The most overrated of the virtues is faith
The metaphysical claims of religion are untrue

Why can’t you keep your atheism to yourself?
Because the religious won’t allow me to
Because every time I open up the paper
There’s another incidence of theocratic encroachment on free society
Which I won’t put up with
Up with which I will not put
