We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.

H. L. Mencken

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

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

Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet.

Napoleon Bonaparte

The easy confidence with which I know another man's religion is folly teaches me to suspect that my own is also.

Mark Twain

People who don't like their beliefs being laughed at shouldn't have such funny beliefs.

“You're basically killing each other to see who's got the better imaginary friend.”

Richard Jeni

Be thankful that you have a life, and forsake your vain and presumptuous desire for a second one.

Richard Dawkins

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

The sailor does not pray for wind, he learns to sail.

Gustaf Lindborg

"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful."

Seneca the Younger 4 B.C. - 65 A.D.

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...

Justin Brown

Religion has actually 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 special list of ten things he does not want you to do... And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time! …But He loves you...

George Carlin

"There are no atheists in foxholes," isn't an argument against atheism, it's an argument against foxholes.

Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, & the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.

Karl Marx

Religion does three things quite effectively: Divides people, Controls people, Deludes people.

Carlespie Mary Alice McKinney

"Faith" means not wanting to know what is true.

Friedrich Nietzsche

"Faith is to the human what sand is to the ostrich."

Anonymous

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

History teaches us that no other cause has brought more death than the word of god.

Giulian Buzila

In Christianity, neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Prayers never bring anything... They may bring solace to the sap, the bigot, the ignorant, the aboriginal, and the lazy - but to the enlightened, it is the same as asking Santa Claus to bring you something for Xmas.

W.C. Fields

Stop lying to children

Break the cycle of religion

If all exclusive religions are right and everyone else is wrong, isn't everyone just wrong?

Those who believe absurdities will commit atrocities.

Philosophy is questions that may never be answered. Religion is answers that may never be questioned.

"When a man is freed of religion, he has a better chance to live a normal and wholesome life."

Sigmund Freud

The religions of mankind must be classed among the mass-delusions of this kind. No one, needless to say, who shares a delusion ever recognizes it as such.

Sigmund Freud

Civilization and Its Discontents

My religion is to do good.

Thomas Paine

"Children are naïve -- they trust everyone. School is bad enough, but, if you put a child anywhere in the vicinity of a church, you're asking for trouble."

Frank Zappa

John Lennon

What have been [Christianity’s] fruits? More or less in all places, pride and indolence in the Clergy, ignorance and servility in the laity; in both, superstition, bigotry and persecution.

"Religion is comparable to a childhood neurosis."

Sigmund Freud

The Future of an Illusion, 1927

Religion is a lot like NASCAR, something for the ignorant masses to believe in.

A few years ago we finally persuaded psychiatrists to remove homosexuality from the list of recognized disorders. Maybe it's time we started lobbying them to add belief in God to the list.

H.L. Mencken

As stated many times: "Those whom have faith are happier then those without." Of course this is true! Have you never heard..." ignorance is bliss?"
