The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose.

—William Shakespeare
The Christian's Bible is a drug store. Its contents remain the same, but the medical practice changes.

—Mark Twain
Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from a religious conviction.

—Blaise Pascal
Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are serviley 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 blind faith.

—Thomas Jefferson
To think that the ruler of the universe will run to my assistance and bend the laws of nature for me is the height of arrogance.

You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

—Buddha
I have examined all the known superstitions of the Word, and I do not find in our particular superstition of Christianity one redeeming feature. They are all alike, founded on fables and mythology. Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined and imprisoned. What has been the effect of this coercion? To make one half the world fools and the other half hypocrites; to support roguery and error all over the world... The clergy converted the simple teachings of Jesus into an engine for enslaving mankind ... to filch wealth and power to themselves. [They], in fact, constitute the real Anti-Christ.

—Thomas Jefferson
This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.

—Dalai Lama
You can tell you have created God in your own image when it turns out that he or she hates all the same people you do.

—Anne Lamott
Christianity has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and not tried.

Who does not see that the same authority which can establish Christianity, in exclusion of all other religions, may establish with the same ease any particular sect of Christians in exclusion of all other sects.

—James Madison
The so-called Christian nations are the most enlightened and progressive, but in spite of their religion, not because of it.

—Mark Twain
Christianity has been buried inside the walls of churches and secured with the shackles of dogmatism.

—Minna Canth
It would be intolerant if I advocated the banning of religion, but of course I never have. I merely give robust expression to views about the cosmos and morality with which you happen to disagree. You interpret that as ‘intolerance’ because of the weirdly privileged status of religion, which expects to get a free ride and not have to defend itself. If I wrote a book called The Socialist Delusion or The Monetarist Delusion, you would never use a word like intolerance. But The God Delusion sounds automatically intolerant. Why? What’s the difference? I have a (you might say fanatical) desire for people to use their own minds and make their own choices, based upon publicly available evidence. Religious fanatics want people to switch off their own minds, ignore the evidence, and blindly follow a holy book based upon private ‘revelation’. There is a huge difference.

—Richard Dawkins
There is no religion without love, and people may talk as much as they like about their religion, but if it does not teach them to be good and kind to other animals as well as humans, it is all a sham.

—Anna Sewell
The religious persecution of the ages has been done under what was claimed to be the command of God.

—Susan B. Anthony
Christianity: One woman's lie about having an affair that got out of hand.

—Facebook Group
You believe in a book that has talking animals, wizards, witches, demons, sticks turning into snakes, food falling from the sky, people walking on water, and all sorts of magical, absurd and primitive stories, and you say that _we_ are the ones that need help?

—Dan Barker
A soft and sheltered Christianity, afraid to be lean and lone, unwilling to face the storms and brave the heights, will end up fat and foul in the cages of conformity.

—Vance Havner

Our sun is one of 100 billion stars in our galaxy. Our galaxy is one of billions of galaxies populating the universe. It would be the height of presumption to think that we are the only living things in that enormous immensity.
