"What do I believe? As an American I believe in generosity, in liberty, in the rights of man. These are social and political faiths that are part of me, as they are, I suppose, part of all of us. Such beliefs are easy to express. But part of me too is my relation to all life, my religion. And this is not so easy to talk about. Religious experience is highly intimate and, for me, ready words are not at hand.";"Adlai E. Stevenson"
"In conclusion, there is a marvelous anecdote from the occasion of Russell's ninetieth birthday that best serves to summarize his attitude toward God and religion. A London lady sat next to him at this party, and over the soup she suggested to him that he was not only the world's most famous atheist but, by this time, very probably the world's oldest atheist. What will you do, Bertie, if it turns out you're wrong? she asked. I mean, what if--uh--when the time comes, you should meet Him? What will you say? Russell was delighted with the question. His bright, birdlike eyes grew even brighter as he contemplated this possible future dialogue, and then he pointed a finger upward and cried, Why, I should say, 'God, you gave us insufficient evidence.'";"Al Seckel"

"A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties";" no religious basis is necessary.  Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death."
"I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own, a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotism.";"Albert Einstein"
"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.";"Albert Einstein"
"I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures, or has a will of the type of which we are conscious in ourselves. An individual who should survive his physical death is also beyond my comprehension, such notions are for the fears or absurd egoism of feeble souls.";"Albert Einstein"

"What is the meaning of human life, or of organic life altogether? To answer this question at all implies a religion. Is there any sense then, you ask, in putting it? I answer, the man who regards his own life and that of his fellow creatures as meaningless is not merely unfortunate but almost disqualified for life.";"Albert Einstein"
"The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge.";"Albert Einstein"

"In a sense, the religious person must have no real views of his own and it is presumptuous of him, in fact, to have any.  In regard to sex-love affairs, to marriage and family relations, to business, to politics, and to virtually everything else that is important in his life, he must try to discover what his god and his clergy would like him to do";" and he must primarily do their bidding."

"That is the idea - that we should all be wicked if we did not hold to the Christian religion.  It seems to me that the people who have held to it have been for the most part extremely wicked.  You find this curious fact, that the more intense has been the religion of any period and the more profound has been the dogmatic belief, the greater has been the cruelty and the worse has been the state of affairs.  In the so-called ages of faith, when men really did believe the Christian religion in all its completeness, there was the Inquisition, with all its tortures";" there were millions of unfortunate women burned as witches"
"There is something feeble and a little contemptible about a man who cannot face the perils of life without the help of comfortable myths.  Almost inevitably some part of him is aware that they are myths and that he believes them only because they are comforting.  But he dare not face this thought!  Moreover, since he is aware, however dimly, that his opinions are not real, he becomes furious when they are disputed.";"Bertrand Russell"
"The question of the truth of a religion is one thing, but the question of its usefulness is another.  I am as firmly convinced that religions do harm as I am that they are untrue.";"Bertrand Russell"
"Science tells us what we can know but what we can know is little and if we forget how much we cannot know we become insensitive of many things of very great importance.  Theology, on the other hand induces a dogmatic belief that we have knowledge where in fact we have ignorance and by doing so generates a kind of impertinent insolence towards the universe.  Uncertainty in the presence of vivid hopes and fears is painful, but must be endured if we wish to live without the support of comforting fairy tales.";"Bertrand Russell"
"It is possible that mankind is on the threshold of a golden age";" but, if so, it will be necessary first to slay the dragon that guards the door, and this dragon is religion."
"We may define 'faith' as the firm belief in something for which there is no evidence.  Where there is evidence, no one speaks of 'faith.'  We do not speak of faith that two and two are four or that the earth is round.  We only speak of faith when we wish to substitute emotion for evidence.  The substitution of emotion for evidence is apt to lead to strife, since different groups substitute different emotions.";"Bertrand Russell"

"Religion is something left over from the infancy of our intelligence, it will fade away as we adopt reason and science as our guidelines.";"Bertrand Russell"
"I believe that when I die I shall rot, and nothing of my ego will survive. I am not young, and I love life. But I should scorn to shiver with terror at the thought of annihilation. Happiness is none the less true happiness because it must come to an end, nor do thought and love lose their value because they are not everlasting.";"Bertrand Russell"
"The Christian religion has been and still is the principal enemy of moral progress in the world.";"Bertrand Russell"
"Religion is based, I think, primarily and mainly upon fear.  It is partly the terror of the unknown and partly, as I have said, the wish to feel that you have a kind of elder brother who will stand by you in all your troubles and disputes.  Fear is the basis of the whole thing - fear of the mysterious, fear of defeat, fear of death.  Fear is the parent of cruelty, and therefore it is no wonder if cruelty and religion have gone hand in hand.  It is because fear is at the basis of those two things.  In this world we can now begin a little to understand things, and a little to master them by help of science, which has forced its way step by step against the Christian religion, against the churches, and against the opposition of all the old precepts.  Science can help us to get over this craven fear in which mankind has lived for so many generations.  Science can teach us, and I think our own hearts can teach us, no longer to look around for imaginary supports, no longer to invent allies in the sky, but rather to look to our own efforts here below to make this world a better place to live in, instead of the sort of place that the churches in all these centuries have made it.";"Bertrand Russell"
"What is wanted is not the will to believe, but the will to find out, which is the exact opposite.";"Bertrand Russell"
"I do not pretend to be able to prove that there is no God.  I equally cannot prove that Satan is a fiction.

"At the age of eighteen...I read Mill's Autobiography, where I found a sentence to the effect that his father taught him that the question 'Who made me?' cannot be answered, since it immediately suggests the further question 'Who made God?'.  This led me to abandon the 'First Cause' argument, and to become an atheist.  Throughout the long period of religious doubt, I had been rendered very unhappy by the gradual loss of belief, but when the process was completed, I found to my surprise that I was quite glad to be done with the whole subject.";"Bertrand Russell"
"You find as you look around the world that every single bit of progress in humane feeling, every improvement in the criminal law, every step toward the diminution of war, every step toward better treatment of the colored races, or every mitigation of slavery, every moral progress that there has been in the world, has been consistently opposed by the organized churches of the world.  I say quite deliberately that the Christian religion, as organized in its churches, has been and still is the principal enemy of moral progress in the world.";"Bertrand Russell"
"We want to stand upon our own feet and look fair and square at the world - its good facts, its bad facts, its beauties, and its ugliness";" see the world as it is and be not afraid of it.

"I think that in philosophical strictness at the level where one doubts the existence of material objects and holds that the world may have existed for only five minutes, I ought to call myself an agnostic";" but, for all practical purposes, I am an atheist.

"No man treats a motor car as foolishly as he treats another human being. When the car will not go, he does not attribute its annoying behavior to sin, he does not say, \"You are a wicked motorcar, and I shall not give you any more petrol until you go.\"  He attempts to find out what is wrong and set it right.";"Bertrand Russell"
"If you think that your belief is based upon reason, you will support it by argument, rather then by persecution, and will abandon it if the argument goes against you.  But if your belief is based on faith, you will realize that argument is useless and will therefore result to force either in the form of persecution or by stunting and distorting the minds of the young in what is called \"education.\"";"Bertrand Russell"
"Most people would sooner die than think";" in fact, they do so."
"Religion is based . . . mainly on fear . . . fear of the mysterious, fear of defeat, fear of death. Fear is the parent of cruelty, and therefore it is no wonder if cruelty and religion have gone hand in hand. . . . My own view on religion is that of Lucretius. I regard it as a disease born of fear and as a source of untold misery to the human race. [quoted in Holy Horrors]";"Bertrand Russell"

"Christianity simply does not make sense until you have faced the sort of facts I have been describing.  Christianity tells people to repent and promises them forgiveness.

"The idea that God is an oversized white male with a flowing beard who sits in the sky and tallies the fall of every sparrow is ludicrous.

"A disturbing fact continues to surface in sex abuse research.  The first best predictor of abuse is alcohol or drug addiction in the father.  But the second best predictor is conservative religiosity, accompanied by parental belief in traditional male-female roles.  This means that if you want to know which children are most likely to be sexually abused by their father, the second most significant clue is whether or not the parents belong to a conservative religious group with traditional role beliefs and rigid sexual attitudes (Brown and Bohn, 1989";" Finkelhor, 1986"

"Many Christians base the belief of a soul and God upon the Bible.  Strictly speaking, there is no such book.  To make the Bible, sixty-six books are bound into one volume.  These books are written by many people at different times, and no one knows the time or the identity of any author.  Some of the books were written by several authors at various times.  These books contain all sorts of contradictory concepts of life and morals and the origin of things.

"Throughout most of the history of the Christian religion books were quite scarce- prohibitively expensive and time consuming to make....

"It dawned on me that a universe without deities was simpler and more internally consistent.  The beauty and simplicity with which atheism, materialism (on the mind/body question), moral relativism, and other philosophical ideas all just fell into place has eliminated any doubt that I could be mistaken.  I didn't realize until then how much cognitive dissonance the little logical inconsistencies in my previous beliefs had created.  It is really wonderful for that to be gone.  Atheism has given me more inner peace than religion ever could have.";"David Nye"
"Another possible danger is that in presenting the gospel to the lost and in defending God's truth we ourselves will seem to be false.  It is time for Christian people to recognize that the defense of this modern, young-Earth, Flood-geology creationism is simply not truthful.  It is simply not in accord with the facts that God has given.  Creationism must be abandoned by Christians before harm is done.  The persistent attempt of the creationist movement to get their points of view established in educational institutions can only bring harm to the Christian cause.  Can we seriously expect non-Christian educational leaders to develop a respect for Christianity if we insist on teaching the brand of science that creationism brings with it? Will not the forcing of modern creationism on the public simply lend credence to the idea already entertained by so many intellectual leaders that Christianity, at least in its modern form, is sheer anti-intellectual obscurantism?  I fear that it will.";"Davis Young"

"An engineering professor is treating her husband, a loan officer, to dinner for finally giving in to her pleas to shave off the scraggly beard he grew on vacation.  His favorite restaurant is a casual place where they both feel comfortable in slacks and cotton/polyester-blend golf shirts.  But, as always, she wears the gold and pearl pendant he gave her the day her divorce decree was final.  They're laughing over their menus because they know he always ends up diving into a giant plate of ribs but she won't be talked into anything more fattening than shrimp. Quiz:  How many biblical prohibitions are they violating?  Well, wives are supposed to be 'submissive' to their husbands (I Peter 3:1).  And all women are forbidden to teach men (I Timothy 2:12), wear gold or pearls (I Timothy 2:9) or dress in clothing that 'pertains to a man' (Deuteronomy 22:5). Shellfish and pork are definitely out (Leviticus 11:7, 10) as are usury (Deuteronomy 23:19), shaving (Leviticus 19:27) and clothes of more than one fabric (Leviticus 19:19).  And since the Bible rarely recognizes divorce, they're committing adultery, which carries the rather harsh penalty of death by stoning (Deuteronomy 22:22). So why are they having such a good time?  Probably because they wouldn't think of worrying about rules that seem absurd, anachronistic or - at best - unrealistic.  Yet this same modern-day couple could easily be among the millions of Americans who never hesitate to lean on the Bible to justify their own anti-gay attitudes.";"Deb Price"
"And whereas it has also come to the knowledge of the said Congregation that the Pythagorean doctrine - which is false and altogether opposed to the Holy Scripture - of the motion of the Earth and the immobility of the Sun, which is also taught by Nicolaus Copernicus in De Revolutionibus orbium coelestium, and by Diego de Zuiga On Job, is now being spread abroad and accepted by many....  Therefore, in order that this opinion may not insinuate itself any further to the prejudice of Catholic truth, the Holy Congregation has decreed that the said Nicolaus Copernicus, De Revolutionibus orbium, and Diego de Zuiga, On Job, be suspended until they are corrected.";"Decree of the Roman Catholic Congregation of the Index condemning De Revolutionibus"

"Man can contemplate his own mortality and finds the thought intolerable. Any animal will struggle to protect itself from a threat of death.  Faced with a predator, it flees, hides, fights or employs some other defensive mechanism, such as death-feigning or the emission of stinking fluids.  There are many self-protection mechanisms, but they all occur as a response to an immediate danger.  When man contemplates his future death, it is as if, by thinking of it, he renders it immediate.  His defence is to deny it.  He cannot deny that his body will die and rot - the evidence is too strong for that";" so he solves the problem by the invention of an immortal soul - a soul which is more 'him' than even his physical body is 'him.'

"Christianity, with its roots in Judaism, was a major factor in the development of the Western worldview....  A basic Christian belief was that God gave humans dominion over creation, with the freedom to use the environment as they saw fit.  Another important Judeo-Christian belief predicted that God would bring a cataclysmic end to the Earth sometime in the future.  One interpretation of this belief is that the Earth is only a temporary way station on the soul's journey to the afterlife.  Because these beliefs tended to devalue the natural world, they fostered attitudes and behaviors that had a negative effect on the environment.";"Donald G. Kaufman and Cecilia M. Franz"

It has struggled to the last ditch, by fair means and foul, to preserve as long as it could the vestiges of ancient and medieval theology, with all the puerile moralities and harsh customs and medieval styles of belief.";"E. Haldeman-Julius"
"Church tax exemption means that we all drop our money in the collection boxes, whether we go to church or not and whether we are interested in the church or not.  It is systematic and complete robbery, from which none of us escapes.";"E. Haldeman-Julius"
"Commonly, those who have professed the strongest motives of love of a God have demonstrated the deepest hatred toward human joy and liberty.";"E. Haldeman-Julius"
"Religion, to be sure, is full of inconsistencies between theory and practice";" but there is and has always been sternly and largely a disposition of religion to enforce its theory in the conduct of life"
"The Bible was a collection of books written at different times by different men - a strange mixture of diverse human documents - and a tissue of irreconcilable notions.  Inspired?  The Bible is not even intelligent.  It is not even good craftsmanship, but is full of absurdities and contradictions.";"E. Haldeman-Julius"
"There have been many alleged revelations of God.  There have, indeed, been many Gods as there have been many Bibles.  And in different ages and different lands an endless game of guessing and disputing has gone on.  Men have argued blindly about God.  They still argue - just as blindly.  And if there is a God, we must conclude that he has willfully left men in the dark. He has not wanted men to know about him.  Assuming his existence, then it would follow that he would have perfect ability to give a complete and universal explanation of himself, so that all men could see and know without further uncertainty.  A real God could exhibit himself clearly to all men and have all men following his will to the last letter without a doubt or a slip.  But when we examine even cursorily the many contradictory revelations of God, the many theories and arguments, the many and diverse principles of piety, we perceive that all this talk about God his been merely the natural floundering of human ignorance.  There has been no reality in the God idea which men could discover and agree upon.  The spectacle has been exactly what we should expect when men deal with theories of something which does not exist.  Hidden Gods - no Gods - all we see is man's poor guesswork.";"E. Haldeman-Julius"
"Theism tells men that they are the slaves of a God.  Atheism assures men that they are the investigators and users of nature.";"E. Haldeman-Julius"
"Remember that millions of Christians still base their belief in a God upon the words of the Bible, which is a collection of the most flabbergasting fictions ever imagined - by men, too, who had lawless but very poor and crude imagination.  Ingersoll and numerous other critics have shot the Christian holy book full of holes.  It is worthless and proves nothing concerning the existence of a God.";"E. Haldeman-Julius"
"I am angry at the Catholic church, because it says that women can't be priests.  Right.  Like my big dream is to run around in a long black dress and fuck altar boys.  But I think I should have the choice.  The pope agrees that women cannot be priests, and this is his reason:  because there were no women priests when Jesus lived.  And that's true.  But there was also no pope.  Does that stop him?";"E.L. Greggory"
"All religion, my friend, is simply evolved out of fraud, fear, greed, imagination, and poetry.";"Edgar Allen Poe"

"Formal religion was organized for slaves";" it offered them consolation which earth did not provide."
"The Bible and the Church have been the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of women's emancipation.";"Elizabeth Cady Stanton"
"The bible teaches that woman brought sin and death into the world, that she precipitated the fall of the race, that she was arraigned before the judgment seat of Heaven, tried, condemned and sentenced. Marriage for her was to be a condition of bondage, maternity a period of suffering and anguish, and in silence and subjection, she was to play the role of a dependent on man's bounty for all her material wants, and for all the information she might desire...Here is the Bible position of woman briefly summed up.";"Elizabeth Cady Stanton"
"The memory of my own suffering has prevented me from ever shadowing one young soul with the superstitions of the Christian religion.";"Elizabeth Cady Stanton"
"Few intelligent Christians can still hold to the idea that the Bible is an infallible Book, that it contains no linguistic errors, no historical discrepancies, no antiquated scientific assumptions, not even bad ethical standards.  Historical investigation and literary criticism have taken the magic out of the Bible and have made it a composite human book, written by many hands in different ages.  The existence of thousands of variations of texts makes it impossible to hold the doctrine of a book verbally infallible.  Some might claim for the original copies of the Bible an infallible character, but this view only begs the question and makes such Christian apologetics more ridiculous in the eyes of the sincere man.";"Elmer Homrighausen"
"I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off.  So I ran over and said 'Stop!  don't do it!'  'Why shouldn't I?'  he said.  I said, 'Well, there's so much to live for!'  He said, 'Like what?'  I said, 'Well...are you religious or atheist?'  He said, 'Religious.'  I said, 'Me too!  Are you Christian or  Buddhist?'  He said, 'Christian.'  I said, 'Me too!  Are you Catholic or Protestant?'  He said, 'Protestant.'  I said, 'Me too!  Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?'  He said, 'Baptist!'  I said, 'Wow!  Me too!  Are you Baptist church of god or Baptist church of the lord?'  He said, 'Baptist church of god!'  I said, 'Me too! Are you original Baptist church of god, or are you reformed Baptist church of god?'  He said, 'Reformed Baptist church of god!'  I said, 'Me too!  Are you reformed Baptist church of god, reformation of 1879, or reformed Baptist church of god, reformation of 1915?'  He said, 'Reformed Baptist church of god, reformation of 1915!'  I said, 'Die, heretic scum,' and pushed him off.";"Emo Phillips"

"So, when Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden, if you go for all these fairy tales, that 'evil' woman convinced the man to eat the apple, but the apple came from the Tree of Knowledge.  And the punishment that was then handed down, the woman gets to bleed and the guy's got to go to work, is the result of a man desiring, because his woman suggested that it would be a good idea, that he get all the knowledge that was supposedly the property and domain of God.  So, that right away sets up Christianity as an anti-intellectual religion.  You never want to be that smart.  If you're a woman, it's going to be running down your leg, and if you're a guy, you're going to be in the salt mines for the rest of your life.  So, just be a dumb fuck and you'll all go to heaven.  That's the subtext of Christianity.";"Frank Zappa"
"America was founded by the refuse of the religious fanatics of England, these undesirable elements that came over on the Mayflower.  Ignorant, religious fanatics who land here and abuse the Indians.";"Frank Zappa"

"I cannot believe in a God who wants to be praised all the time.";"Friedrich Nietzsche"
"The common dogma [of fundamentalists] is fear of modern knowledge, inability to cope with the fast change in a scientific-technological society, and the real breakdown in apparent moral order in recent years.... That is why hate is the major fuel, fear is the cement of the movement, and superstitious ignorance is the best defense against the dangerous new knowledge. ... When you bring up arguments that cast serious doubts on their cherished beliefs you are not simply making a rhetorical point, you are threatening their whole Universe and their immortality. That provokes anger and quite frequently violence. ... Unfortunately you cannot reason with them and you even risk violence in confronting them. Their numbers will decline only when society stabilizes, and adapts to modernity.";"G Gaia"
"I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forego their use.";"Galileo Galilei"
"I condemn false prophets, I condemn the effort to take away the power of rational decision, to drain people of their free will--and a hell of a lot of money in the bargain. Religions vary in their degree of idiocy, but I reject them all. For most people, religion is nothing more than a substitute for a malfunctioning brain.";"Gene Roddenberry"

"That is the strength and at the same time the sin of the Christians - they will not accept that anyone else has so much as a splinter of the truth.";"Harry Harrison"
"Businesses may come and go, but religion will last forever, for in no other endeavor does the consumer blame himself for product failure.";"Harvard Lamphoon"
"All human beings have an innate need to hear and tell stories and to have a story to live by...religion, whatever else it has done, has provided one of the main ways of meeting this abiding need.";"Harvey Cox"

"When science and the Bible differ, science has obviously misinterpreted its data.";"Henry Morris"
"The only way we can determine the true age of the earth is for God to tell us what it is.  And since He has told us, very plainly, in the Holy Scriptures that it is several thousand years in age, and no more, that ought to settle all basic questions of terrestrial chronology.";"Henry Morris"
"The truth which makes men free is for the most part the truth which men prefer not to hear.";"Herbert Agar"

"There exists no politician in India daring enough to attempt to explain to the masses that cows can be eaten.";"Indira Gandhi"
"I am an atheist, out and out. It took me a long time to say it. I've been an atheist for years and years, but somehow I felt it was intellectually unrespectable to say that one is an atheist, because it assumed knowledge that one didn't have. Somehow it was better to say one was a humanist or agnostic. I don't have the evidence to prove that God doesn't exist, but I so strongly suspect that he doesn't that I don't want to waste my time.";"Isaac Asimov"
"As it happens, Josephus, who mentions John the Baptist, does not mention Jesus.  There is, to be sure, a paragraph in his history of the Jews which is devoted to Jesus, but it interrupts the flow of the discourse and seems suspiciously like an afterthought.  Scholars generally believe this to have been an insertion by some early Christian editor who, scandalized that Josephus should talk of the period without mentioning the Messiah, felt the insertion to be a pious act.";"Isaac Asimov"
"To surrender to ignorance and call it God has always been premature, and it remains premature today.";"Isaac Asimov"
"If I were not an atheist, I would believe in a God who would choose to save people on the basis of the totality of their lives and not the pattern of their words.  I think he would prefer an honest and righteous atheist to a TV preacher whose every word is God, God, God, and whose every deed is foul, foul, foul.";"Isaac Asimov"
"Imagine the people who believe such things and who are not ashamed to ignore, totally, all the patient findings of thinking minds through all the centuries since the Bible was written.  And it is these ignorant people, the most uneducated, the most unimaginative, the most unthinking among us, who would make themselves the guides and leaders of us all";" who would force their feeble and childish beliefs on us"

"Humanity has the stars in its future, and that future is too important to be lost under the burden of juvenile folly and ignorant superstition.";"Isaac Asimov"
"To rebel against a powerful political, economic, religious, or social establishment is very dangerous and very few people do it, except, perhaps, as part of a mob. To rebel against the \"scientific\" establishment, however, is the easiest thing in the world, and anyone can do it and feel enormously brave, without risking as much as a hangnail. Thus, the vast majority, who believe in astrology and think that the planets have nothing better to do than form a code that will tell them whether tomorrow is a good day to close a business deal or not, become all the more excited and enthusiastic about the bilge when a group of astronomers denounces it.";"Isaac Asimov"
"Although the time of death is approaching me, I am not afraid of dying and going to Hell or (what would be considerably worse) going to the popularized version of Heaven. I expect death to be nothingness and, for removing me from all possible fears of death, I am thankful to atheism.";"Isaac Asimov"
"The Christian cannot be satisfied so long as any human activity is either opposed to Christianity or out of connection with Christianity. Christianity must pervade not merely all nations but also all of human thought.";"J. Gresham Machen"
"There must be no barriers to freedom of inquiry.  There is no place for dogma in science.  The scientist is free, and must be free to ask any question, to doubt any assertion, to seek for any evidence, to correct any errors.";"J. Robert Oppenheimer"
"Scientific education and religious education are incompatible.  The clergy have ceased to interfere with education at the advanced state, with which I am directly concerned, but they have still got control of that of children.

"To make sure that my blasphemy is thoroughly expressed, I hereby state my opinion that the notion of a god is a basic superstition, that there is no evidence for the existence of any god(s), that devils, demons, angels and saints are myths, that there is no life after death, heaven nor hell, that the Pope is a dangerous, bigoted, medieval dinosaur, and that the Holy Ghost is a comic-book character worthy of laughter and derision.  I accuse the Christian god of murder by allowing the Holocaust to take place - not to mention the \"ethnic cleansing\" presently being performed by Christians in our world - and I condemn and vilify this mythical deity for encouraging racial prejudice and commanding the degradation of women.";"James Randi"

"The blackest billingsgate, the most ungentlemanly insolence, the most yahooist brutality, is patently endured, countenanced, propagated, and applauded.

"The name of Christ has caused more persecutions, wars, and miseries than any other name has caused.";"John E. Remsburg"
"The history of the rise of Christianity has everything to do with politics, culture, and human frailties and nothing to do with supernatural manipulation of events.

"In religion and politics people's beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand, and without examination, from authorities who have not themselves examined the questions at issue but have taken them at second-hand from other non-examiners, whose opinions about them were not worth a brass farthing.";"Mark Twain"

"Man is a Religious Animal.  He is the only Religious Animal.  He is the only animal that has the True Religion - several of them.  He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat if his theology isn't straight.  He has made a graveyard of the globe in trying his honest best to smooth his brother's path to happiness and heaven.";"Mark Twain"
"We have to keep our God placated with prayers, and even then we are never sure of him -- how much higher and finer is the Indian's God......Our illogical God is all-powerful in name, but impotent in fact";" the Great Spirit is not all-powerful, but does the very best he can for his injun and does it free of charge."
"So much blood has been shed by the Church because of an omission from the Gospel: \"Ye shall be indifferent as to what your neighbor's religion is.\" Not merely tolerant of it, but indifferent to it. Divinity is claimed for many religions";" but no religion is great enough or divine enough to add that new law to its code."
"Man is kind enough when he is not excited by religion.";"Mark Twain"
"India has two million gods, and worships them all. In religion all other countries are paupers";" India is the only millionaire."

"Reason should be destroyed in all Christians.";"Martin Luther"
"But what will happen even if we do burn down the Jews' synagogues and forbid them publicly to praise God, to pray, to teach, to utter God's name?  They will still keep doing it in secret.  If we know that they are doing this in secret, it is the same as if they were doing it publicly.  For our knowledge of their secret doings and our toleration of them implies that they are not secret after all and thus our conscience is encumbered with it before God.";"Martin Luther"

"The whole Bible was written by slave owners, and for slave owners.  There is no hint of criticism of slavery anywhere in that book.  Jesus made no objection to mistreatment of slaves.  He indicated that selling of debtors into slavery would be continued his forthcoming kingdom of heaven as well as masters having the right to beat their slaves and put them to torture.";"Merrill Holste"
"Man is certainly stark mad";" he cannot make a flea, and yet he will be making gods by dozens."

"Any Latter-day Saint who denounces or opposes, whether actively or otherwise, any plan or doctrine advocated by the 'prophets, seers, and revelators' of the Church is cultivating the spirit of apostasy. Lucifer...wins a great victory when he can get members of the Church to speak against their leaders and to 'do their own thinking'....  When our leaders speak, the thinking had been done.  When they propose a plan - it is God's plan.  When they point the way, there is no other which is safe.  When they give direction, it should mark the end of controversy.";"Mormon Elder Boyd K. Packer"

"How can you have order in a state without religion?

"They have kept us in submission because they have talked about separation of church and state.  There is no such thing in the Constitution.  It's a lie of the left, and we're not going to take it anymore.";"Pat Robertson"
"When I said during my presidential bid that I would only bring Christians and Jews into the government, I hit a firestorm.  \"What do you mean?\" the media challenged me.  \"You're not going to bring atheists into the government?  How dare you maintain that those who believe in the Judeo-Christian values are better qualified to govern America than Hindus and Muslims?\"  My simple answer is, \"Yes, they are.\"";"Pat Robertson"
"The wars of extermination have given a lot of people trouble unless they know what was going on.  The people in the land of Palestine were very wicked.  They were given over to idolatry";" they sacrificed their children"
"That [separation of church and state] was never in the Constitution, however much the liberals laugh at me for saying it, they know good and well it was never in the Constitution!  Such language only appeared in the constitution of the communist Soviet Union.";"Pat Robertson"
"I think the sky is blue because it's a shift from black through purple to blue, and it has to do with where the light is.  You know, the farther we get into darkness, and there's a shifting of color of light into the blueness, and I think as you go farther and farther away from the reflected light we have from the sun or the light that's bouncing off this earth, uh, the darker it gets....  I think if you look at the color scale, you start at black, move it through purple, move it on out, it's the shifting of color. We mentioned before about the stars singing, and that's one of the effects of the shifting of colors.";"Pat Robertson"
"...There is no such thing as ... separation of state and church ... in the Constitution. It's a lie of the left.";"Pat Robertson"
"History aside, the almost universal opinion that one's own religious convictions are the reasoned outcome of a dispassionate evaluation of all the major alternatives is almost demonstrably false for humanity in general. If that really were the genesis of most people's convictions, then one would expect the major faiths to be distributed more or less randomly or evenly over the globe.  But in fact they show a very strong tendency to cluster...which illustrates what we all suspected anyway:  that social forces are the primary determinants of religious belief for people in general.  To decide scientific questions by appeal to religious orthodoxy would therefore be to put social forces in place of empirical evidence.";"Paul Churchland"
"We are different from previous generations of conservatives. We are no longer working to preserve the status quo. We are radicals, working to overturn the present power structure of this country.";"Paul Weyrich"
"Christianity inculcates the necessity of supplicating the Deity.  Prayer may be considered under two points of view:  as an endeavor to change the intentions of God, or as a formal testimony of our obedience.  But the former case supposes that the caprices of a limited intelligence can occasionally instruct the Creator of the world how to regulate the universe";" and the latter, a certain degree of servility analogous to the loyalty demanded by earthly tyrants.  Obedience indeed is only the pitiful and cowardly egotism of him who thinks that he can do something better than reason."
"Your Highness, I have no need of this hypothesis.";"Pierre Laplace"
"Since the masses of the people are inconsistent, full of unruly desires, passionate, and reckless of consequences, they must be filled with fears to keep them in order.  The ancients did well, therefore, to invent gods, and the belief in punishment after death.";"Polybius"

"[As for evolution]...cutting out the sections [on the subject] is preferable if the portions are not thick enough to cause damage to the spine of the book as it is opened and closed in normal use.

"Christianity is completely and radically anti-democratic";" it is committed to spiritual aristocracy."

"There is no reason for believing that any sort of gods exist and quite good reason for believing that they do not exist and never have. It has all been a gigantic waste of time and a waste of life. It would be a joke of cosmic proportions if it weren't so tragic.";"Richard Dawkins"
"Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence.";"Richard Dawkins"
"There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can't prove that there aren't any, so shouldn't we be agnostic with respect to fairies?";"Richard Dawkins"

"I think it's important to realize that when two opposite points of view are expressed with equal intensity, the truth does not necessarily lie exactly halfway between them. It is possible for one side to be simply wrong.";"Richard Dawkins"
"If you have a faith, it is statistically overwhelmingly likely that it is the same faith as your parents and grandparents had. No doubt soaring cathedrals, stirring music, moving stories and parables, help a bit. But by far the most important variable determining your religion is the accident of birth. The convictions that you so passionately believe would have been a completely different, and largely contradictory, set of convictions, if only you had happened to be born in a different place. Epidemiology, not evidence.";"Richard Dawkins"

"The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshipped anything but himself.";"Richard F. Burton"
"You see, one thing is, I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing.  I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong.  I have approximate answers and possible beliefs and different degrees of uncertainty about different things, but I am not absolutely sure of anything and there are many things I don't know anything about, such as whether it means anything to ask why we're here.... I don't have to know an answer.  I don't feel frightened not knowing things, by being lost in a mysterious universe without any purpose, which is the way it really is as far as I can tell.  It doesn't frighten me.";"Richard P. Feynman"
"A long and wicked life followed by five minutes of perfect grace gets you into Heaven.

But this creed certainly will do for this life."

"Reason, Observation and Experience - the Holy Trinity of Science - have taught us that happiness is the only good";" that the time to be happy is now, and the way to be happy is to make others so.

"These gods did not even know the shape of the worlds they had created, but supposed them perfectly flat.  Some thought the day could be lengthened by stopping the sun, that the blowing of horns could throw down the walls of a city, and all knew so little of the real nature of the people they had created, that they commanded the people to love them.  Some were so ignorant as to suppose that man could believe just as he might desire, or as they might command, and that to be governed by observation, reason, and experience was a most foul and damning sin.  None of these gods could give a true account of the creation of this little earth.  All were woefully deficient in geology and astronomy.  As a rule, they were most miserable legislators, and as executives, they were far inferior to the average of American presidents.";"Robert G. Ingersoll"
"God has always resembled his creators.  He hated and loved what they hated and loved and he was invariably found on the side of those in power.";"Robert G. Ingersoll"
"If a man would follow, today, the teachings of the Old Testament, he would be a criminal.  If he would follow strictly the teachings of the New, he would be insane.";"Robert G. Ingersoll"
"The account shows, however, that the gods dreaded education and knowledge then just as they do now.  The church still faithfully guards the dangerous tree of knowledge, and has exerted in all ages her utmost power to keep mankind from eating the fruit thereof.  The priests have never ceased repeating the old falsehood and the old threat:  'Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.'  From every pulpit comes the same cry, born of the same fear:  'Lest they eat and become as gods, knowing good and evil.'  For this reason, religion hates science, faith detests reason, theology is the sworn enemy of philosophy, and the church with its flaming sword still guards the hated tree, and like its supposed founder, curses to the lowest depths the brave thinkers who eat and become as gods.";"Robert G. Ingersoll"
"The doctrine that future happiness depends upon belief is monstrous.  It is the infamy of infamies.  The notion that faith in Christ is to be rewarded by an eternity of bliss, while a dependence upon reason, observation and experience merits everlasting pain, is too absurd for refutation, and can be relieved only by that unhappy mixture of insanity and ignorance, called 'faith.'  What man, who ever thinks, can believe that blood can appease God? And yet, our entire system of religion is based upon that belief.  The Jews pacified Jehovah with the blood of animals, and according to the Christian system, the blood of Jesus softened the heart of God a little, and rendered possible the salvation of a fortunate few.  It is hard to conceive how the human mind can give assent to such terrible ideas, or how any sane man can read the Bible and still believe in the doctrine of inspiration.";"Robert G. Ingersoll"
"If the account given in Genesis is really true, ought we not, after all, to thank this serpent?  He was the first schoolmaster, the first advocate of learning, the first enemy of ignorance, the first to whisper in human ears the sacred word liberty, the creator of ambition, the author of modesty, of inquiry, of doubt, of investigation, of progress and of civilization.";"Robert G. Ingersoll"
"The book, called the Bible, is filled with passages equally horrible, unjust and atrocious.  This is the book to be read in schools in order to make our children loving, kind and gentle!";"Robert G. Ingersoll"
"Theology is not what we know about God, but what we do not know about Nature.  In order to increase our respect for the Bible, it became necessary for the priests to exalt and extol that book, and at the same time to decry and belittle the reasoning powers of man.  The whole power of the pulpit has been used for hundreds of years to destroy the confidence of man in himself - to induce him to distrust his own powers of thought, to believe that he was wholly unable to decide any question for himself, and that all human virtue consists in faith and obedience.  The church has said 'Believe and obey!'  If you reason you will become an unbeliever, and unbelievers will be lost.  If you disobey, you will do so through vain pride and curiosity, and will, like Adam and Eve, be thrust from Paradise forever! For my part, I care nothing for what the church says, except in so far as it accords with my reason";" and the Bible is nothing to me, only in so far as it agrees with what I think or know."
"To argue with a man who has renounced his reason is like giving medicine to the dead.";"Robert G. Ingersoll"
"As long as woman regards the Bible as the charter of her rights, she will be the slave of man.  The Bible was not written by a woman.  Within its leaves there is nothing but humiliation and shame for her.";"Robert G. Ingersoll"
"Take from the church the miraculous, the supernatural, the incomprehensible, the unreasonable, the impossible, the unknowable, the absurd, and nothing but a vacuum remains.";"Robert G. Ingersoll"
"Suppose, however, that God did give this law to the Jews, and did tell them that whenever a man preached a heresy, or proposed to worship any other God that they should kill him";" and suppose that afterward this same God took upon himself flesh, and came to this very chosen people and taught a different religion, and that thereupon the Jews crucified him"
"I have little confidence in any enterprise or business or investment that promises dividends only after the death of the stockholders.";"Robert G. Ingersoll"
"Man must learn to rely upon himself.  Reading bibles will not protect him from the blasts of winter, but houses, fires, and clothing will.  To prevent famine, one plow is worth a million sermons, and even patent medicines will cure more diseases than all the prayers uttered since the beginning of the world.";"Robert G. Ingersoll"
"Whenever a man believes that he has the exact truth from God, there is in that man no spirit of compromise.  He has not the modesty born of the imperfections of human nature";" he has the arrogance of theological certainty and the tyranny born of ignorant assurance.  Believing himself to be the slave of God, he imitates his master, and of all tyrants, the worst is a slave in power."
"Ministers say that they teach charity. That is natural. They live on hand-outs. All beggars teach that others should give.";"Robert Ingersoll"
"Banish me from Eden if you will, but first let me eat of the fruit of knowledge.";"Robert Ingersoll"
"Few nations have been so poor as to have but one god. Gods were made so easily, and the raw material cost so little, that generally the god market was fairly glutted and heaven crammed with these phantoms.";"Robert Ingersoll"
"Finding that no religion is based on facts and cannot therefore be true, I began to reflect what must be the condition of [hu]mankind trained from infancy to believe in error.";"Robert Owen"

"If I were asked for a one-sentence soundbite on religion, I would say I was against it.";"Salman Rushdie"
"To put it as simply as possible:  I am not a Muslim.  I do not accept the charge of apostasy, because I have never in my adult life affirmed any belief, and what one has not affirmed one cannot be said to have apostatized from.  The Islam I know states clearly that \"there can be no coercion in matters of religion.\"  The many Muslims I respect would be horrified by the idea that they belong to their faith purely by virtue of birth, and that a person who freely chose not to be a Muslim could therefore be put to death.";"Salman Rushdie"
"The idea of the sacred is quite simply one of the most conservative notions in any culture, because it seeks to turn other ideas - uncertainty, progress, change - into crimes.";"Salman Rushdie"

"More than half the college students polled in three states, including California, said they are creationists who believe that God created Adam and Eve, while about one-third believe in aliens, Big Foot and the lost city of Atlantis.  The poll results, released yesterday by Texas researchers, also indicated that students who believe in creationism are less likely to read books, tend to be more politically conservative and have a lower grade-point average than students who dispute that God created Earth in six days.  Last fall, about 1000 students attending colleges in Texas, Connecticut and California filled out detailed questionnaire on their beliefs.  In Texas, 71 percent of students said they believe in the story of Adam and Eve, while 51 percent in Connecticut and 47 percent in California said they believed in the biblical first couple.  An average of 44 percent of the students in the three states said the story of Noah's Ark is true.  About one-third of all the students surveyed believed that Big Foot, a hairy man-like creature reputed to live in the mountains of northwest America, actually exists.  An equal number believed in the lost city of Atlantis, a legendary island of advanced civilization that supposedly sank into the ocean.  Thirty percent of the students responding to the survey said aliens from outer space visited Earth in ancient times.  Overall, 37 percent said they believed in ghosts, and 39 percent said it is possible to communicate with the dead.";"San Francisco Chronicle"

"If you're looking for a little background reading on scientific creationism, it's best not to take the word scientific too seriously.  A three-year database search of 4,000 scientific publications - focusing on the names of people associated with the Institute for Creation Research and on phrases and keywords such as 'creationism' - didn't turn up a single paper.  A follow-up study of 68 journals found that only 18 of 135,000 total manuscript submissions concerned scientific creationism, and all 18 were rejected.  Reasons cited included 'flawed arguments,' 'ramblings,' and 'a high-school theme quality.'";"Science"
"There are many extraordinary tales from antiquity, including women with snakes for hair, creatures whose gaze turns you to stone, creatures with equine bodies and human torsos, many accounts of people rising from the dead, lots of tales of magic, and numerous accounts of physical encounters with fantastic beings.  Ancient people were a superstitious, scientifically primitive lot, and believed in many things that today we know are silly.  I find it bizarre that so many people see nothing suspicious about the extraordinary or supernatural claims of the Bible, yet don't hesitate to express disbelief in equally well documented claims of minotaurs, basilisks, and wizards.";"Scott Brown"
"This is not an attack on the First Amendment rights of people who believe in faith healing.  We just don't believe the First Amendment allows them to inflict their views upon their children and let them die from such things as infections, when one quick trip to a doctor would cure the problem. Children should not have to die to uphold the religious beliefs of their parents.";"Scott Greenwood"
"The whole point of Christianity is that everyone in the world, from Charles Manson to Mother Teresa, deserves to go to hell.";"Sean P. Ningen"
"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.";"Seneca the Younger"
"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumoured by many. Do not believe in anything because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditinos because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find anything that agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all then accept it and live up to it.";"Siddhartha Gautama - The Buddha (c.563-c.483 B.C.)"
"Not only might one-quarter to one-half of the weight be lost in planing, whereas with iron only a minute fraction was lost in this way, but half of the weight of timber in a wooden ship was wasted, its only use being to hold the other half in position.  Even so, a wooden ship had great stresses as a structure.  The absolute limit of its length was 300 feet, and it was liable to \"hogging\" and \"sagging\" in addition to being unable to withstand the local strain of the screw propeller.";"Sidney Pollard and Paul Robertson"
"Religious ideas have sprung from the same need as all the other achievements of culture:  from the necessity for defending itself against the crushing supremacy of nature.";"Sigmund Freud"
"The gods retain their threefold task:  they must exorcize the terrors of nature, they must reconcile men to the cruelty of Fate, particularly as it is shown in death, and they must compensate them for the sufferings and privations which a civilized life in common has imposed on them.";"Sigmund Freud"
"If all the evidence put forward for the authenticity of religious teachings originates in the past, it is natural to look round and see whether the present, about which it is easier to form judgements, may not also be able to furnish evidence of the sort.  If by this means we could succeed in clearing even a single portion of the religious system from doubt, the whole of it would gain enormously in credibility.";"Sigmund Freud"
"In the long run nothing can withstand reason and experience, and the contradiction which religion offers to both is all too palpable.";"Sigmund Freud"
"Devout believers are safeguarded in a high degree against the risk of certain neurotic illnesses";" their acceptance of the universal neurosis spares them the task of constructing a personal one."
"It would be very nice if there were a God who created the world and was a benevolent providence, and if there were a moral order in the universe and an after-life";" but it is a very striking fact that all this is exactly as we are bound to wish it to be."
"Two attempts have been made...to evade the problem.  The first is the Credo quia absurdum of the early Father of the Church.  It maintains that religious doctrines are outside the jurisdiction of reason - are above reason.  Their truth must be felt inwardly, and they need not be comprehended....  Am I to be obliged to believe every absurdity?  And if not, why this one in particular?";"Sigmund Freud"
"When we ask on what their claim to be believed is founded [religious teachings], we are met with three answers, which harmonize remarkably badly with one another.  Firstly, these teachings deserve to be believed because they were already believed by our primal ancestors";" secondly, we possess proofs which have been handed down to us from those same primaeval times"
"Today the god hypothesis has ceased to be scientifically tenable... and its abandonment often brings a deep sense of relief. Many people assert that this abandonment of the god hypothesis means the abandonment of all religion and all moral sanctions. This is simply not true. But it does mean, once our relief at jettisoning an outdated piece of ideological furniture is over, that we must construct some thing to take its place.";"Sir Julian Huxley (The New Divinity)"
"We should be agnostic about those things for which there is no evidence. We should not hold beliefs merely because they gratify our desires for afterlife, immortality, heaven, hell, etc.";"Sir Julian Sorell Huxley"
"One of my favorite fantasies is that next Sunday not one single woman, in any country of the world, will go to church. If women simply stop giving our time and energy to the institutions that oppress, they could cease to be.";"Sonia Johnson"
"Life becomes religious whenever we make it so: when some new light is seen, when some deeper appreciation is felt, when some larger outlook is gained, when some nobler purpose is formed, when some task is well done.";"Sophia Lyon Fahs"
"The good Christian should beware of mathematicians and all those who make empty prophecies.  That danger already exists that mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and confine man to the bonds of Hell.";"St. Augustine"
"Jesus was a Jew, yes, but only on his mother's side.";"Stanley Ralph Ross"
"Creation science has not entered the curriculum for a reason so simple and so basic that we often forget to mention it:  because it is false, and because good teachers understand exactly why it is false.  What could be more destructive of that most fragile yet most precious commodity in our entire intellectual heritage - good teaching - than a bill forcing honorable teachers to sully their sacred trust by granting equal treatment to a doctrine not only known to be false, but calculated to undermine any general understanding of science as an enterprise?";"Stephen Jay Gould"
"The beauty of religious mania is that it has the power to explain everything. Once God (or Satan) is accepted as the first cause of everything which happens in the mortal world, nothing is left to chance...logic can be happily tossed out the window.";"Stephen King"
"I contend that we are both atheists.  I just believe in one fewer god than you do.  When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.";"Stephen Roberts"
"What I have done is to show that it is possible for the way the universe began to be determined by the laws of science.  In that case, it would not be necessary to appeal to God to decide how the universe began.  This doesn't prove that there is no God, only that God is not necessary.";"Stephen W. Hawking"
"And no philosophy, sadly, has all the answers.  No matter how assured we may be about certain aspects of our belief, there are always painful inconsistencies, exceptions, and contradictions.  This is true in religion as it is in politics, and is self-evident to all except fanatics and the naive.  As for the fanatics, whose number is legion in our own time, we might be advised to leave them to heaven.  They will not, unfortunately, do us the same courtesy.  They attack us and each other, and whatever their protestations to peaceful intent, the bloody record of history makes clear that they are easily disposed to restore to the sword.  My own belief in God, then, is just that - a matter of belief, not knowledge.  My respect for Jesus Christ arises from the fact that He seems to have been the most virtuous inhabitant of Planet Earth.  But even well-educated Christians are frustrated in their thirst for certainty about the beloved figure of Jesus because of the undeniable ambiguity of the scriptural record.  Such ambiguity is not apparent to children or fanatics, but every recognized Bible scholar is perfectly aware of it.  Some Christians, alas, resort to formal lying to obscure such reality.";"Steve Allen"
"God is by definition the holder of all possible knowledge, it would be impossible for him to have faith in anything. Faith, then, is built upon ignorance and hope.";"Steve Allen, <i>from More Steve Allen, on the Bible Religion & Morality</i>"
"Believing that the Bible is the divinely inspired word of God, certain human beings are prepared to suspend not only reason but even common sense about any and all passages found within, no matter how vile or bloodthirsty.";"Steve Allen, <i>from Steve Allen, on the Bible Religion & Morality</i>"
"Invisible Pink Unicorns are beings of awesome mystical power.  We know this because they manage to be invisible and pink at the same time.  Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith.  We have faith that they are pink";" we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them."
"Any religion...is for ever in danger of petrifaction into mere ritual and habit, though ritual and habit be essential to religion.";"T.S. Eliot"

"I believe that at every level of society - familial, tribal, national and international - the key to a happier and more successful world is the growth of compassion.  We do not need to become religious, nor do we need to believe in an ideology.  All that is necessary is for each of us to develop our good human qualities.";"Tenzin Gyatso"
"God does not play dice with the universe";" He plays an ineffable game of his own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players [i.e., everybody], to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank card"
"Vaccination is a direct violation of the everlasting covenant that God made with Noah after the flood....  Vaccination never saved human life.  It does not prevent smallpox.";"The Golden Age"

"It is in our lives and not our words that our religion must be read.";"Thomas Jefferson"
"Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, thus building a wall of separation between Church and State.";"Thomas Jefferson"

"Belief in a cruel God makes a cruel man.";"Thomas Paine"
"Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon than the Word of God.  It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind.";"Thomas Paine"
"A Christian is a man who feels repentance on Sunday for what he did on Saturday, and what he is going to do on Monday.";"Thomas Ybarra"
"Eat a big plate of jambalya, head off to the can, and meditate on this, \"defecating is more productive than praying.";"Todd Adamson"
"No doubt a sizeable majority of Americans believe in the concept of a Creator or, at least, are not opposed to the concept and see nothing wrong with teaching school children about the idea.  The application and content of First Amendment principles are not determined by public opinion polls or by a majority vote.  Whether the proponents of Act 590 constitute the majority or the minority is quite irrelevant under a constitutional system of government.  No group, no matter how large or small, may use the organs of government, of which the public schools are the most conspicuous and influential, to foist its religious beliefs on others.";"U.S. District Court Judge William R. Overton"
"Leave the matter of religion to the family altar, the church, and the private schools, supported entirely by private contributions. Keep the church and the state forever separated.";"Ulysses S. Grant"

"The problem with fundamentalists insisting on a literal interpretation of the Bible is that the meaning of words change.  A prime example is 'Spare the rod, spoil the child.'  A rod was a stick used by shepherds to guide their sheep to go in the desired direction.  Shepherds did not use it to beat their sheep.  The proper translation of the saying is 'Give your child guidance, or they will go astray.'  It does not mean 'Beat the shit out of your child or he will become rotten' as many fundamentalist parents seem to belive.";"Unknown"

"Unfalsifiable propositions are not amenable to any method at all. If they were, then religions would be able to find a way to resolve internal conflicts over differing versions of their unfalsifiables  without resorting to schism, excommunication, torture, or jihad. In science, however, there are no permanent schisms, because there is a recognized final court of appeal, namely the universe itself.";"Unknown"

"What can we say to a man who tells you that he would rather obey God than men, and that therefore he is sure to go to heaven for butchering you?  Even the law is impotent against these attacks of rage";" it is like reading a court decree to a raving maniac.

"I suggest that the anthropomorphic god-idea is not a harmless infirmity of human thought, but a very noxious fallacy, which is largely responsible for the calamities the world is at present enduring.";"William Archer"
"God says do what you wish, but make the wrong choice and you will be tortured for eternity in hell.  That sir, is not free will.  It would be akin to a man telling his girlfriend, do what you wish, but if you choose to leave me, I will track you down and blow your brains out.  When a man says this we call him a psychopath and cry out for his imprisonment and execution.  When God says the same we call him 'loving' and build churches in his honor.";"William C. Easttom II"

"As soon as you are willing to discard observational data because it conflicts with religion, you are giving up any hope of ever really understanding the universe.  As soon as you pick religion as the touchstone of reality, then we have to start discussing how one can demonstrate the correctness of one religion over another when different religions disagree.";"Wilson Heydt"
