The best arguments are the shortest, they are concise and effective in that they say very much with very little. It is thought by many that the group of people that have the most reason, or inclination to be anti-religious are scientists; and of course this is a valid belief given all we have learned through science, and how contradicting science can be towards religion.

Science often deals with complicated matters, most of which have never been addressed by religion, in fact they are too complex and too sophisticated to even be paired with religion. History however, has shown us, through empirical discovery, facts that contradict religion and prove the falsity of religion. They also have gone, and continue to go, to the point that they are showing how religion was created, and perhaps the most interesting of all, why they were created.
