1. America: slouching towards the Enlightenment

What is religion? Are you religious? Most people who claim to be religious actually are affiliated only by name, and that comes out of the ignorance they have towards their own religion. If they ask a religious common muslim about the details of Quran they would probably shrug off with the pretext that no one but the theologians (who are experts in nothing in my opinion) should know all answers. Have common people the knowledge about what they affiliate themselves with, they would soon become atheists! Religion is good only when you are ignorant about it.

2. Add another flea to the list...

I think the deluge of books against Professor Dawkins work and fellow "Brights" and the apparent sense of danger felt from the titles are witnesses to the great impact these works have had on the religious (i.e ignorant) minds of the day. The angry reaction we get now is one we would expect in the natural history of grief after the loss of a dear person or posession. For a long time have religious people been successful in subjugating free-thinking minds that they are now naive to this kind of reason and discourse. Keeping the flow of works like professor Dawkins' would ensure the delivery of dogmatic believers out of the cycle of grief over the loss of their dear religious superstitions into the world of reality.

Hello and Happy Darwin Day to everyone!
I bow in respect to Darwin on behalf of my people, most of whom I regret are far from the civilized end of the evolutionary spectrum of human intellect. Darwin is very strange to the Middle East, not many know about him, and the few who actually do are blind-sighted by the hatred installed into them by their strongly held religious superstitions. So few are those who might know of this day, and fewer are those who celebrate it. Yet, I am warmed by the fact that my secular values bring me closer to everyone around the globe who enjoys this day to share our pride and joy of Darwin.

I want to thank Professor Dawkins for maintaining and evolving the Darwinian message, and for his educational work and efforts. I see in him the one whom we should celebrate as heartedly on this special day as we do Darwin.

Happy Darwin/Dawkins-Day to everyone.

This one is my favourite:
