How Do You Annoy an Atheist?
If you’re a theist and you aren’t interested in intelligent discussion but just want to irritate a nearby atheist, here are a few phrases you might find useful. (Use as your own risk.)
- “You’re an atheist? But you seemed so nice.”
- “Atheism’s a religion.”
- “Sure I have faith, but so do you.”
- “I don’t have enough faith to be an atheist.”
- “Hitler, Stalin — all the big murderers were atheists.”
- “You don’t disbelieve in God, you reject Him. You know in your heart that God exists.”
- “You’re going to burn in Hell!”
- “You are being deceived by Satan!”
- “Aren’t you horribly depressed?”
- “What horrible thing happened in your childhood to make you like this?”
- “Why do you hate God?”
- “You just reject God so you can sin without guilt.”
- “If there’s no God, then where do you go when you die?”
- “If there’s no God, why not kill people for fun?”
- “NASA computers calculating the positions of the planets found a missing day, proving the Bible is true.”
- “Atheists are selfish. All the big charities are religious.”
- “Hundreds of people saw the risen Jesus. How much more proof could you need?”
- “If you’d just read the Bible, you’d believe.”
- “If you’d just read the Bible with an open heart, you’d believe.”
- “If you’d just read the Bible with an open heart and put aside your prejudices, you’d believe.”
- “You believe in air and you can’t see that.”
- “There are no atheists in foxholes.”
- “A big bang implies a big banger.”
- “You can’t prove it didn’t happen.”
- “If you don’t believe in God you don’t believe in money because it has ‘In God We Trust’ on it.”
- “While your daughter was at our house for the slumber party last night, we had all the girls baptized.”
- “Sorry to hear your mother died and is going to Hell.”
And while you’re at it:
- Give God credit for anything good someone did.
- Praise God for saving you when 200+ others died.
- Blame a huge natural disaster on the results of a recent election.
- Insist that the Bible is the word of God (but never actually read the whole thing).
- End a discussion by shaking your head in a condescending, pitying manner.

My 21 year old son is an atheist. We had him in a christian school for four years, we went to church every sunday. When his grandfather died in our driveway on Christmas and my husband and I prayed for him to live our son was so upset that God did not answer the prayer that my Dad would live and our son has been disbelieving in Jesus ever since. Any advice would be welcome. Thank you! I will print this out for our son.
