You can safely assume that you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.
- Anne Lamott
The pleasures arising from thinking and learning will make us think and learn all the more.
- Aristotle
Never ascribe to malice that which can be adequately explained by ignorance.
- Oscar Wilde
I can indeed hardly see how anyone ought to wish Christianity to be true; for if so the plain language of the text seems to show that the men who do not believe, and this would include my Father, Brother and almost all my best friends, will be everlastingly punished. And this is a damnable doctrine.
- Charles Darwin
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.
- Galileo Galilei
Faith, n. Belief without evidence in what is told by one who speaks without knowledge, of things without parallel.
- Ambrose Bierce
A wise man is superior to any insults which can be put upon him, and the best reply to unseemly behaviour is patience and moderation.
- Moliere
The World is divided into armed camps ready to commit genocide just because we can't agree on whose fairy tales to believe. In the end, Religion will kill us all.
- Ed Krebs
Yes, reason has been a part of organized religion, ever since two nudists took dietary advice from a talking snake.
- Jon Stewart
The most appealing, intuitive argument for atheism is the mind blowing stupidity of religious fundamentalists.
- Ginger Yellow
Properly read, the Bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived
- Isaac Asimov
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 F. Roberts
One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion.
- Arthur C. Clarke
Religion. It has given people hope in a world torn apart by religion.
- Jon Stewart
When religion is weak, it asks ‘Why can’t we just agree to disagree?’ When religion is strong, it slaughters all opposition.
- @CrispySea
There once was a time when all people believed in God and the church ruled. This time was called the Dark Ages.
-Richard Lederer
The key to praying is talking to yourself and pretending someone intelligent is listening.
Craig Smith
Where knowledge ends, religion begins.
- Benjamin Disraeli
The study of theology, as it stands in Christian churches, is the study of nothing; it is founded on nothing; it rests on no principles; it proceeds by no authorities; it has no data; it can demonstrate nothing; and it admits of no conclusion.
- Thomas Paine
No man ever believes that the Bible means what it says; he is always convinced that it says what he means.
- George Bernard Shaw
That pleasure which is at once the most pure, the most elevating and the most intense, is derived, I maintain, from the contemplation of the beautiful.
- Edgar Allan Poe
Reinterpretation and ridicule crow-barred Christianity open. Ask enough tough questions and faith is inevitably pushed farther and farther back into the misty realm of metaphor – where it is less likely to inspire people to kill and die for it.
- Johann Hari
The enemy for the fanatic is pleasure, which makes it extremely important to continue to indulge in pleasure. Dance madly. That is how you get rid of terrorism.
- Salman Rushdie
An excuse is worse and more terrible than a lie, for an excuse is a lie guarded.
