I’m an atheist and I thank God for it.

George Bernard Shaw
About This Quote

This quote is from a comedy routine by a comedian named Ricky Gervais. It means that a person who is an atheist doesn’t believe in a higher power and is grateful that they don’t have to worship any god. Atheists can be just as happy as those who believe in a god, being thankful that the concept of a god doesn’t cause them as much pain as it does others who pray or worship.
