"Most people would rather die than think; in fact, they do so." - Bertrand Russell
"Give a man a fish, and you'll feed him for a day; give him a religion, and he'll starve to death while praying for a fish." - Author Unknown
"Atheism is a requirement for a complete human being. Religion is a crutch that is shackled to you, one you never really needed in the first place, but were convinced by others that you couldn't live without. Once you discover it's only an illusion, that it's not even a real crutch, you discard it gladly." - Brent Yaciw
"A society without religion is like a maniac without a gun."
"Pray, v. To ask that the laws of the universe be annulled in behalf of a single petitioner confessedly unworthy." - Ambrose Bierce
"Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind and unfits it for every noble enterprise." -James Madison
"This would be the best of all possible worlds, if there were no religion in it." -John Adams [ in a letter to Thomas Jefferson]
"The whole thing is so patently infantile, so foreign to reality, that to anyone with a friendly attitude to humanity it is painful to think that the great majority of mortals will never be able to rise above this view of life." -Sigmund Freud on Religion
"I am an atheist, out and out. It took me a long time to say it. I've been an atheist for years and years, but somehow I felt it was intellectually unrespectable to say that one is an atheist, because it assumed knowledge that one didn't have. Somehow it was better to say one was a humanist or agnostic. I don't have the evidence to prove that God doesn't exist, but I so strongly suspect that he doesn't that I don't want to waste my time." -Isaac Asimov
"I do not believe in god because I do not believe in Mother Goose." -Clarence Darrow
"I think; therefore I am." -Rene Descartes
"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

Re: Some good quotes
Post #5Non-religious/anti-religious one's are acceptable, too, right? Below are some of my favorites.
"Jim Bakker spells his name with 2 k's because 3 would be too obvious." -- Bill Maher
"O Lord, help me not to despise or oppose what I do not understand." -- William Penn
"If you're not mature enough to walk into a pharamacy and buy condoms, or deal with the shitstorm that will occur if your parents find out, you shouldn't be having sex." -- Brad Johnson
"You said we were getting ice cream! I'm calling my social worker!" -- Kristopher Wooldridge
"Valentine's Day is God's way of giving me the finger." -- Brad Johnson
"Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally." -- Abraham Lincoln
"I just love the smell of C4 in the morning." -- Ling Ling; 3x3 eyes
"It's disgusting how Microsoft portrays itself as the supreme innovator when just about all the technology that it has was copied off of others' previous work." -- Timothy W Macinta
"The registry: worst idea since income tax." -- Michael Wong
"I've got black magic, a hair trigger, and a short fuse. Bring it!" -- Black Mage; Episode 036: Survivor 8-bit Style; 8-Bit Theater
"To feel. 'Cause you've never done it, you can never know it. But it's as vital as breath. And without it, without love, without anger, without sorrow, breath is just a clock... ticking." -- Mary; Equilibrium
"Experience is not what happens to a man. It's what a man does with what happens to him." -- Aldous Huxley
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die." -- Batty; Blade Runner
"What kind of spiritual philosophy is process-of-elimination? Are you kidding me? What do you look like telling someone that 'You have nothing to lose!' You know? It's like, '6 months no payments! No risk! No obligation! Buy Jesus now!' That, to me, is pathetic, and I'm sorry, but I'm not sorry. I can't apologize for calling out something that poor." -- Karim Temple
"But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams." -W.B. Yeats
"If you wish to taste the ground, feel free to attack me." -- Kenshin Himura
