"\"By any reasonable measure of achievement, the faith of the Enlightenment thinkers in science was justified.\" - E.O. Wilson",
"\"The problem with fantasies is you can't really insist that everyone else believes in yours, the other problem with fantasies is that most believers of fantasies eventually get around to doing exactly that.\" - Onyx8",

"\"I never say that evolution is a fact. Evolution is a theory. It's much more important than a fact, because theories explain things.\" - Eugenie Scott",
"\"It's not a matter of living life without mystery or wonder. It's a matter of living life without the approval of people who ignorantly assume that by rejecting the irrational, I experience no mystery or wonder. And frankly, I do just fine without that.\"",
"\"Magic thinking is a lead personal floatation device. It looks really reassuring, but it will drag you down.\" - whatthebutlersaw",
"\"Faith often contradicts faith. Therefore faith is not an indication of truth.\"",
"\"The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the Supreme Being as his father, in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter.\" - Thomas Jefferson",

"\"When one forfeits one's ability to think critically, ties it all up in a neat little bundle with pretty ribbons and hands it to their pastor or priest, all that's left is an ability to mindlessly blather inanities taught at Sunday School, without a whit of understanding.\"",
"\"Everyone takes the limits of his own vision for the limits of the world.\" - Arthur Schopenhauer",

"\"Don't pray in our schools, and we won't think in your churches.\"",
"\"God's purpose is lived out through humanity. We are sinful, imperfect beings, and through us, God's purpose is revealed. Or some similar apologetic ********. But really, no killer argument exists, because reason and rationality don't apply in unreasonable, irrational arguments.\" - Chairman Bill",
"\"A being who is omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient is incapable of going anywhere, acquiring new capacities, or discovering anything; therefore such a being, if the word Purpose means anything at all, is incapable of having one, and thus single-handedly demonstrates the vacuous nature of absolutism in all forms.\" - Pelfdaddy",
"\"If christians pick and choose only the good parts of the bible, didn't they already have morals prior to reading it?\" - Pilosoraptor",

"\"Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.\" -Daniel Patrick Moynihan",
"\"If every trace of any single religion died out and nothing were passed on, it would never be created exactly that way again.

If all of science were wiped out, it would still be true and someone would find a way to figure it all out again.\" - Pen Jilette",

"\"There's this thing called being so open-minded your brains drop out.\" - Richard Dawkins",

"\"It's been suggested that if the supernaturalists really had the powers they claim, they'd win the lottery every week. I prefer to point out that they could also win a Nobel Prize for discovering fundamental physical forces hitherto unknown to science.\" - Richard Dawkins",
"\"There are all sorts of things that would be comforting. I expect an injection of morphine would be comforting. But to say that something is comforting is not to say that it's true.\" - Richard Dawkins",
"\"I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world.\" - Richard Dawkins",
"\"We are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further.\" - Richard Dawkins",
"\"(Religion) With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.\" - Steven Weinberg",
"\"Man is a Religious Animal. Man 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. The higher animals have no religion. And we are told that they are going to be left out in the Hereafter. I wonder why? It seems questionable taste.\" - Mark Twain",
"\"It ain't the parts of the Bible that I can't understand that bother me, it is the parts that I do understand.\" - Mark Twain",

"\"Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened.\" - Sir Winston Churchill",
"\"It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it.\" - Albert Einstein",
"\"The word god is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this. For me the Jewish religion like all others is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions. And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong and with whose mentality I have a deep affinity have no different quality for me than all other people. As far as my experience goes, they are no better than other human groups, although they are protected from the worst cancers by a lack of power. Otherwise I cannot see anything 'chosen' about them.\" - Albert Einstein",
"\"Through the reading of popular scientific books I soon reached the conviction that much in the stories of the Bible could not be true. The consequence was a positively fanatic orgy of freethinking coupled with the impression that youth is intentionally being deceived by the state through lies; it was a crushing impression. Mistrust of every kind of authority grew out of this experience, a skeptical attitude toward the convictions that were alive in any specific social environment - an attitude that has never again left me, even though, later on, it has been tempered by a better insight into the causal connections.\" - Albert Einstein",
"\"Religion is a culture of faith; science is a culture of doubt.\" - Richard Feynmen",
"\"I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them.\" - Galileo Galilei",

"\"Zeal, n. A certain nervous disorder afflicting the young and inexperienced.\" - Ambrose Bierce",
"\"Take any country that has laws against hate crimes, inspiring hatred and genocide and so on. The first thing they would do is ban the Old Testament. There's nothing like it in the literary canon that exalts genocide, to that extent. And it's not a joke either.\" - Noam Chomsky",
"\"I'd rather be a climbing ape than a falling angel.\" - Terry Pratchett",

"\"We admit that we are like apes, but we seldom realise that we are apes.\" - Richard Dawkins",
"\"Thus the creationist's favourite question 'What is the use of half an eye?' Actually, this is a lightweight question, a doddle to answer. Half an eye is just 1 per cent better than 49 per cent of an eye.\" - Richard Dawkins",
"\"The universe is a strange and wondrous place. The truth is quite odd enough to need no help from pseudoscientific charlatans.\" - Richard Dawkins",
"\"I have as much authority as the Pope. I just don't have as many people who believe it.\" - Goerge Carlin",
"\"Debating creationists on the topic of evolution is rather like trying to play chess with a pigeon, it knocks the pieces over, craps on the board, and flies back to its flock to claim victory.\" - Scott D. Weitzenhoffer",
"\"As in 1925, creationists are not battling for religion. They have been disowned by leading church men of all persuasions, for they debase religion even more than they misconstrue science. They are a motley collection to be sure, but their core of practical support lies with the evangelical right, and creationism is a mere stalking horse or subsidiary issue in a political program. The enemy is not fundamentalism; it is intolerance. In this case, the intolerance is perverse since it masquerades under the 'liberal' rhetoric of 'equal time'.\" - Stephen J Gould",
"\"Today, the theory of evolution is an accepted fact for everyone but a fundamentalist minority, whose objections are based not on reasoning but on doctrinaire adherence to religious principles.\" - Dr. James D. Watson",

"\"I don't know if God exists, but it would be better for his reputation if he didn't.\" - Jules Renard",
"\"In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection of his own.\" - Thomas Jefferson",
"\"I have encountered a few creationists and because they were usually nice, intelligent people, I have been unable to decide whether they were really mad, or only pretending to be mad.\" - Arthur C. Clarke",
"\"You could give Aristotle a tutorial. And you could thrill him to the core of his being. Such is the privilege of living after Newton, Darwin, Einstein, Planck, Watson, Crick and their colleagues.\" - Richard Dawkins",
"\"It dawned on me today that of all the hypocrites in the world psychologists and psychiatrists who call themselves devout believers have to be the worst of them all. Who are they to have the audacity to proclaim someone delusional and mentally ill when they themselves are worshiping an omnipotent, omnipresent, temperamental, misogynistic, egomaniacal, and vengeful voodoo monkey in the sky which is in essence a figment of their own imagination.\" - Jesse Hazelton",
"\"In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.\" - Carl Sagan",
"\"Physics isn't a religion. If it were, we'd have a much easier time raising money.\" - Leon Lederman",

"\"Christianity neither is, nor ever was, a part of the common law.\" - Thomas Jefferson",
"\"If we believe absurdities, we shall commit atrocities.\" - Voltaire",
"\"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.\" - Einstein",
"\"Faith means not wanting to know what is true.\" - Nietzsche",
"\"I cannot believe in the immortality of the soul. No, all this talk of an existence for us, as individuals, beyond the grave is wrong. It is born of our tenacity of life - our desire to go on living - our dread of coming to an end.\" - Edison",
"\"The Bible is not my book nor Christianity my profession. I could never give assent to the long, complicated statements of Christian dogma.\" - Lincoln",
"\"Religion is a byproduct of fear. For much of human history, it may have been a necessary evil, but why was it more evil than necessary? Isn't killing people in the name of God a pretty good definition of insanity?\" - Arthur C. Clarke",
"\"Religions are all alike - founded upon fables and mythologies.\" - Thomas Jefferson",
"\"Say what you will about the sweet miracle of unquestioning faith, I consider a capacity for it terrifying and absolutely vile.\" - Kurt Vonnegut",
"\"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.\" - Bertrand Russell",
"\"The only difference between religion and superstition is the spelling.\"",
"\"A society without religion is like a maniac without a gun.\"",
"\"A lie is at the heart of 'beLIEf.'\"",
"\"What happens when we're dead? The irony is that all our questions wil be answered after we die. We spend our whole life trying to figure out the truth and the only way we'll find out what it is, is to get hit by a bus. And the only comfort that religion offers is that God is driving that bus.\" - John Ryman, When Galaxies Collide",
"\"To explain the unknown by the known is a logical procedure; to explain the known by the unknown is a form of theological lunacy.\" - David Brooks, The Necessity of Atheism",
"\"Pray, v. To ask that the laws of the universe be annulled in behalf of a single petitioner confessedly unworthy.\" - Ambrose Bierce",
"\"We would be 1,500 years ahead if it hadn't been for the church dragging science back by its coattails and burning our best minds at the stake.\" - Catherine Fahringer",
"\"If we are going to teach 'creation science' as an alternative to evolution, then we should also teach the stork theory as an alternative to biological reproduction.\" - Judith Hayes",
"\"Good science should be independent of race, nationality, colour, politics, or religion. There is no such thing as science for Buddhists and science for Baptists. There is no such thing as Jewish science or atheist science. There is only science. Science should be understandable by anyone with the training and knowledge, you shouldn't need to 'see the light' or 'accept Christ' to be able to understand it.\" - Steven D'Aprano",

"\"Most people can't bear to sit in church for an hour on Sundays. How are they supposed to live somewhere very similar to it for eternity?\" - Mark Twain",
"\"Geology shows that fossils are of different ages. Paleontology shows a fossil sequence, the list of species represented changes through time. Taxonomy shows biological relationships among species. Evolution is the explanation that threads it all together. Creationism is the practice of squeezing one's eyes shut and wailing 'does not!'\"",
"\"If god doesn't like the way I live, let him tell me, not you.\"",
"\"Any belief worth having must survive doubt.\"",
"\"Religion might be helpful in death, but education is helpful in life.\"",

"\"Organized religion: The world's largest pyramid scheme.\" - Bernard Katz",
"\"Randomness scares people. Religion is a way to explain randomness.\" - Fran Lebowitz",
"\"Suppose we've chosen the wrong god. Every time we go to church we're just making him madder and madder.\" - Homer Simpson",
"\"I've yet to find anything convincing about the arguments Christians make for the existence of this God chap, and feel, that if he does exist, events such as the Holocaust, Cambodian massacres and Limp Bizkit illuminate the fact that he's been asleep at the wheel for quite some time.\" - Wil Forbis",
"\"The church says the earth is flat, but I know that it is round, for I have seen the shadow on the moon, and I have more faith in a shadow than in the church.\" - Ferdinand Magellan",

"\"I cannot believe in a God who wants to be praised all the time.\" - Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche",
"\"Atheism is a requirement for a complete human being. Religion is a crutch that is shackled to you, one you never really needed in the first place, but were convinced by others that you couldn't live without. Once you discover it's only an illusion, that it's not even a real crutch, you discard it gladly.\" - Brent Yaciw",
"\"I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other gods you will understand why I dismiss yours.\" - Stephen F. Roberts",
"\"We must question the story logic of having an all-knowing, all-powerful God, who creates faulty humans, and then blames them for his own mistakes.\" - Gene Roddenberry",
"\"The only difference between a cult and a religion is the amount of real estate they own.\" - Frank Zappa",
"\"It is an interesting and demonstrable fact, that all children are atheists and were religion not inculcated into their minds, they would remain so.\" - Ernestine Rose",
"\"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. But if by 'God' one means the set of physical laws that govern the universe, then clearly there is such a God. This God is emotionally unsatisfying - it does not make much sense to pray to the law of gravity.\" - Carl Sagan",
"\"It is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.\" - Carl Sagan",
"\"I would love to believe that when I die I will live again, that some thinking, feeling, remembering part of me will continue. But as much as I want to believe that, and despite the ancient and worldwide cultural traditions that assert an afterlife, I know of nothing to suggest that it is more than wishful thinking.\" - Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World",
"\"The world is so exquisite, with so much love and moral depth, that there is no reason to deceive ourselves with pretty stories for which there's little good evidence. Far better, it seems to me, in our vulnerability, is to look Death in the eye and to be grateful every day for the brief but magnificent opportunity that life provides.\" - Carl Sagan",
"\"For most of human history we have searched for our place in the cosmos. Who are we? What are we? We find that we inhabit an insignificant planet of a hum-drum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people. We make our world significant by the courage of our questions, and by the depth of our answers.\" - Carl Sagan",
"\"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality.\" - Albert Einstein",

"\"Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet.\" - Napoleon Bonaparte",

"\"Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear.\" - Thomas Jefferson",
"\"Our ignorance is God; what we know is science.\" - Robert Ingersoll",
"\"This is my religion - joy and exaltation in my own existence - so go ahead and snarl - bite - howl, you Calvinistic divines and all you who say I am no Christian. I say you are not Christian.\" - John Adams",
"\"The foolish reject what they see and not what they think; the wise reject what they think and not what they see.\" - Huang Po",
"\"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.\" - Albert Einstein",
"\"There once was a time when all people believed in God and the church ruled. This time was called the Dark Ages.\" - Richard Lederer",
"\"Your ineffectual god and its religion, with its dogma, prejudice and hypocrisy scare me far more than do your satan or threats of damnation.\" - Jessica Deamer",
"\"When you pray to god you must either think your omniscient god is unaware of your plight and you must inform him of it, or you think he is aware of your plight but doesn't plan to help you unless you change his mind. Praying is just begging your god to alter his perfect plan.\" -Jeff Ziebart",
"\"An atheist believes that a hospital should be built instead of a church. An Atheist believes that deed must be done instead of a prayer said. An Atheist strives for involvement in life and not escape into death. He wants disease conquered, poverty vanished, war eliminated.\" - Madalyn Murray O'Hair",
"\"If Jesus had been killed 20 years ago, Catholic school children would be wearing little Electric Chairs around their necks instead of crosses.\" - Lenny Bruce",

"\"Fundamentalism means never having to say 'I'm wrong.'\"",
"\"Man created God in his own image.\"",
"\"In some respects, science has far surpassed religion in delivering awe. How is it that hardly any major religion has looked at science and concluded, 'This is better than we thought! The Universe is much bigger than our prophets said, grander, more subtle, more elegant. God must be even greater than we dreamed'? Instead they say, 'No, no, no! My god is a little god, and I want him to stay that way.'\" - Carl Sagan",
"\"If God had meant us to believe in Him, He'd have existed.\" - Linda Smith",

"\"Atheism: Because I'm not *********** stupid.\"",

"\"With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.\" - Steven Weinberg",
"\"Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. Ideas must be distinct before reason can act upon them; and no man ever had a distinct idea of the trinity.
