Anyway, I posted this quote before many a time and I'll post it again:
"It is an insult to God to believe in God. For on the one hand it is to suppose that he has perpetrated acts of incalculable cruelty. On the other hand, it is to suppose that he has perversely given his human creatures an instrument -- their intellect -- which must inevitably lead them, if they are dispassionate and honest, to deny his existence. It is tempting to conclude that if he exists, it is the atheists and agnostics that he loves best, among those with any pretensions to education. For they are the ones who have taken him most seriously. "

That is all fine and dandy if you are fighting against the traditional ideas of God. But thats about it.
It assumes that God is a personal God. Which is not necessarily so. A Buddhist would laugh in your face.
