Top Ten Disadvantages of Being an Atheist:
10. If you want to celebrate Christmas, you have to at least tacitly acknowledge a preposterous story about how one particular woman got pregnant, a long time ago.
9. When you are angry, you tell an imaginary power to damn something indeterminate. Pretty unsatisfying.
8. When you do something wrong, or bad, you have to take the blame for it yourself, and feel bad about it for as long as you remember.
7. You have only your parents to thank for the massive talent and/or good looks that allowed you to win that boxing match, football game, or beauty pageant.
6. You'll never "speak in tongues," unless you contract malaria, or go insane.
5. You have no ostensible, inherent goodness with which to misdirect gullible people from your evil nature.
4. You have at least one seemingly impenetrable barrier between you and the Republican Party.
3. You have to live your life knowing that it will end forever, in an alarmingly short time; and yet live it well, just for the sake of being a good person.
2. There's no good place to go and get free wine and wafers.
1. You don't really have a catchy, celebratory phrase to say on Fridays.
