| Atheism is more than just the knowledge that gods do not exist, and that religion is either a mistake or a fraud. Atheism is an attitude, a frame of mind that looks at the world objectively, fearlessly, always trying to understand all things as a part of nature part of nature. | Carl Sagan |
| Man created God in his image: intolerant, sexist, homophobic and violent. | Marie |

| Certainly I see the scientific view of the world as incompatible with religion, but that is not what is interesting about it. It is also incompatible with magic, but that also is not worth stressing. What is interesting about the scientific world view is that it is true, inspiring, remarkable and that it unites a whole lot of phenomena under a single heading. | Richard Dawkins |
| The invisible and the non-existent look very much alike. | Delos B. McKown |
| The objections to religion are of two sorts - intellectual and moral.

| Theology, by diverting the attention of men from this life to another, and by endeavoring to coerce all men into one religion, constantly preaching that this world is full of misery, but the next world would be beautiful -- or not, as the case may be -- has forced on men the thought of fear where otherwise there might have been the happy abandon of nature. | Elbert Hubbard |
| ...it is a telling fact that, the world over, the vast majority of children follow the religion of their parents rather than any of the other available religions. | Richard Dawkins |
| Without death, the influence of faith-based religion would be unthinkable. Clearly, the fact of death is intolerable to us, and faith is little more than the shadow cast by our hope for a better life beyond the grave. | Sam Harris |

| 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 |
| If Atheism is a religion, then health is a disease!

| I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world. | Richard Dawkins |
| 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 |
| Religions are conclusions for which the facts of nature supply no major premises. | Ambrose Bierce |
| They said God was on high and he controlled the world and therefore we must pray against Satan. Well, if God controls the world, he controls Satan. For me, religion was full of misstatements and reaches of logic that I just couldn`t agree with. | Gene Roddenberry |
| Religion. It`s given people hope in a world torn apart by religion.
| Charlie Chaplin |
| Religion is fundamentally opposed to everything I hold in veneration--courage, clear thinking, honesty, fairness, and, above all, love of the truth.
| H.L. Mencken |
| 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 |
| Faith is believing something you know ain`t true. | Mark Twain |
| People in America look at extreme Muslims, and how they are brainwashed, but not at themselves. | Heath Gresham |
| It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring. | Carl Sagan |
| The power of god has given men the ability to realize that he does not exist. | Andre dos Santos |
| I would argue that those who see god in everything are the ones who have a problem seeing life`s true value. They`re not able to see the enormous beauty in the immense improbability of our very existence. If god created us all for a purpose, we`re just doing a job, pawns in his cosmic game. But if we just happen be be here by random chance, then the lives we have are truly something to value, enjoy, and celebrate. | raabco |
| 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 distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do because I notice it always coincides with their own desires. | Susan B. Anthony |
| People have suffered and become insane for centuries by the thought of eternal punishment after death. Wouldn't it be better to depend on blind matter (...) than by a god who puts out traps for people, invites them to sin, and allows them to sin and commit crimes he could prevent. Only to finally get the barbarian pleasure to punish them in an excessive way, of no use for himself, without them changing their ways and without their example preventing others from committing crimes. | Baron d`Holbach |
| All thinking men are atheists. | Ernest Hemmingway |
| It seems to me that the idea of a personal God is an anthropological concept which I cannot take seriously. I also cannot imagine some will or goal outside the human sphere. … Science has been charged with undermining morality, but the charge is unjust. A man’s ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; 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 |
| If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.
| Albert Einstein |
| I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ. | Mohandas K Gandhi |
| It ain’t those parts of the Bible that I can’t understand that bother me, it is the parts that I do understand. | Mark Twain |
| We are afraid of the known and afraid of the unknown. That is our daily life and in that there is no hope, and therefore every form of philosophy, every form of theological concept, is merely an escape from the actual reality of what is. All outward forms of change brought about by wars, revolutions, reformations, laws and ideologies have failed completely to change the basic nature of man and therefore of society. | Thomas Jefferson |
| The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason: The Morning Daylight appears plainer when you put out your Candle. | Benjamin Franklin |
| The constant assertion of belief is an indication of fear. | Jiddu Krishnamurti |
| What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof. | Christopher Hitchens |
| Religion is an illusion and it derives its strength from the fact that it falls in with our instinctual desires. | Sigmund Freud |
| I think flying planes into a building was a faith-based initiative. I think religion is a neurological disorder. | Bill Maher |
| If we go back to the beginning, we shall find that ignorance and fear created the gods; that fancy, enthusiasm, or deceit adorned them; that weakness worships them; that credulity preserves them and that custom, respect and tyranny support them in order to make the blindness of men serve their own interests. If the ignorance of nature gave birth to gods, the knowledge of nature is calculated to destroy them. | Baron D’Holbach |
| A belief which leaves no place for doubt is not a belief; it is a superstition. | Jose Bergamin |
| One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. | Arthur C. Clarke |
| God made me an atheist. Who are you to question his wisdom. | Unknown |
| The world holds two classes of men - intelligent men without religion, and religious men without intelligence. | Abu Ala Al-Ma’arri |
| 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 |
| If the Bible is mistaken in telling us where we came from, how can we trust it to tell us where we're going? | Justin Brown |
| The inspiration of the bible depends on the ignorance of the person who reads it. | Robert G. Ingersoll |
| The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus…will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter. | Thomas Jefferson |
| Beliefs are dangerous. Beliefs allow the mind to stop functioning. A non-functioning mind is clinically dead. Believe in nothing. | Maynard James Keenan |
| Who needs Satan when you have a God like this? | Robert M. Price |
| …the Bible is such a book of lies and contradictions there is no knowing which part to believe or whether any. | Thomas Paine |
| Faith is essentially intolerant ... essentially because necessarily bound up with faith is the illusion that one's cause is also God`s cause. | Ludwig von Feuerbach |
| No man ever believes that the Bible means what it says; he is always convinced that it says what he means. | George Bernard Shaw |
| Jesus` last words on the cross, `My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?` hardly seem like the words of a man who planned it that way. It doesn`t take Sherlock Holmes to figure there is something wrong here. | Donald Morgan |
| Christianity is the most ridiculous, the most absurd and bloody religion that has ever infected the world. | Voltaire |
| I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road. | Stephen Hawking |
| So atheism is a religion? No, I`m afraid not, no more than being completely healthy is just another kind of disease. | David Horton |
| If God`s plan incorporates all of his knowledge, then how do we have free will? God is a bigot. | Nathan A. Creel |
| Reason is a whore, the greatest enemy that faith has. | Martin Luther |
| Try not to think about it too much, that's how Atheists are made. | Stan Naspinski |
| Religions are like prescriptions. Both are written instructions from an Authority giving permission to the consumer, (if used as directed) to be a better person. Yet both usually do more harm than good. In Religion`s case, heaven is simply the drug of choice.. | Quentin Cline |
| You never see animals going through the absurd and often horrible fooleries of magic and religion. Only man behaves with such gratuitous folly. It is the price he has to pay for being intelligent but not, as yet, quite intelligent enough. | Aldous Huxley |
| In dark ages people are best guided by religion, as in a pitch-black night a blind man is the best guide; he knows the roads and paths better than a man who can see. When daylight comes, however, it is foolish to use blind, old men as guides.
| Heinrich Heine |
| Religion was good for one thing. It provided a reason for humans to have morals, now that we know religion is not that reason, it can go away. | Dustin Rgnonti |
| Which is more offensive? Atheist saying I have no reason for believing in god or a Muslim showing respect for your religion and then worshiping another god?
| Dustin Rgnonti |
| Just in terms of allocation of time resources, religion is not very efficient. There`s a lot more I could be doing on a Sunday morning. | Bill Gates |
| Man is a credulous animal, and must believe something; in the absence of good grounds for belief, he will be satisfied with bad ones. | Bertrand Russell |
| You can`t use the bible to prove the bible | eire138 |
| I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my church. | Thomas Paine |
| The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. | Albert Einstein |
| I do not believe in the God of theology who rewards good and punishes evil. My God created laws that take care of that. His universe is not ruled by wishful thinking, but by immutable laws. | Albert Einstein |
| Jews bow their heads, Christians get down on their knees, Muslims get down on their knees with their asses in the air. Atheists hold their heads up proudly and kneel to no one and no thing. | Unknown |
| Christianity:
The belief that some cosmic Jewish Zombie can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him that you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree. | Unknown |
| 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. | Albert Einstein |
| 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. | Albert Einstein |
| Man has always required an explanation for all of those things in the world he did not understand. If an explanation was not available, he created one. | Jim Crawford |
| Millions of innocent men, women, and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burned, tortured, fined, and imprisoned, yet we have not advanced one inch toward uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one half of the world fools and the other half hypocrites. | Thomas Jefferson |

| Santa Clause, Magic, The Easter Bunny, God... If you HAVE to believe in it, then it is not real. | N. Tyree |
| Religion has caused more misery to all of mankind in every stage of human history than any other single idea. | Anonymous |
| If it turns out that there is a God, I don’t think that he’s evil. But the worst that you can say about him is that basically he’s an underachiever. | Woody Allen |
| 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 |
| It will yet be the proud boast of women that they never contributed a line to the Bible. | George W. Foote |

| Remember, Jesus would rather constantly shame gays than let orphans have a family. | Steven Colbert |
| History teaches us that no other cause has brought more death than the word of god. | Giulian Buzila |
| People will then often say, ‘But surely it’s better to remain an Agnostic just in case?’ This, to me, suggests such a level of silliness and muddle that I usually edge out of the conversation rather than get sucked into it. (If it turns out that I’ve been wrong all along, and there is in fact a god, and if it further turned out that this kind of legalistic, cross-your-fingers-behind-your-back, Clintonian hair-splitting impressed him, then I think I would choose not to worship him anyway.) | Douglas Adams |

| If God created the world, then who created god? and who created whoever created god? So somewhere along the line something had to just be there. So why can’t we just skip the idea of god and go straight to earth? | Ryan Hanson |
| If we expect God to subscribe to one religion at the exclusion of all the others, then we should expect damnation as a matter of chance. This should give Christians pause when expounding their religious beliefs, but it does not. | Sam Harris |
| Atheists will celebrate life, while you’re in church celebrating death. | Anonymous |

| Thus I came... to a deep religiosity, which, however, reached an abrupt end at the age of 12. Through the reading of popular scientific books I soon reached a conviction that much in the stories of the Bible could not be true... Suspicion against every kind of authority grew out of this experience... an attitude which has never left me. | Albert Einstein |

| The most preposterous notion that H. sapiens has ever dreamed up is that the Lord God of Creation, Shaper and Ruler of all the Universes, wants the saccharine adoration of His creatures, can be swayed by their prayers, and becomes petulant if He does not receive this flattery.

| I am the creator and the destroyer,
I am he that defines all worlds.
I bring life to the lifeless,
I rain death on all that lives.
My judgement is supreme.
I encompass all things,
I am the progenitor of good and evil.
I created sin,
I cause its every pain.
Hell is of my works.
I am the source of all gods.
I create gods on a whim,
I destroy gods with a thought.
I am man. | Craig Smith |
