Religion easily has the best bullshit story of all time. Think about it. Religion has convinced people that there’s an invisible man…living in the sky. Who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn’t want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer, and burn, and scream, until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you. He loves you and he needs money.
Atheism: A non-prophet organization.
I’m completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death
George Carlin

The most heinous and the must cruel crimes of which history has record have been committed under the cover of religion or equally noble motives.

I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.
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.”

A man is accepted into a church for what he believes and he is turned out for what he knows.

What God lacks is convictions — stability of character. He ought to be a Presbyterian or a Catholic or something — not try to be everything.
Under certain circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer.

“In God We Trust.” I don’t believe it would sound any better if it were true.
Mark Twain

Shake off all 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.
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.
The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one.
Thomas Jefferson

The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one.
George Bernard Shaw

Men never commit evil so fully and joyfully as when they do it for religious convictions.
Blaise Pascal

You’re basically killing each other to see who’s got the better imaginary friend.
Richard Jeni

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

Where knowledge ends, religion begins.
Benjamin Disraeli

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day; teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime; give a man religion and he will die praying for a fish.
Unknown (Not Bad!)

If there really is a God who created the entire universe with all of its glories, and He decides to deliver a message to humanity, He will not use, as His messenger, a person on cable TV with a bad hairstyle.
Dave Barry

A belief which leaves no place for doubt is not a belief; it is a superstition.
