"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 blind-folded fear." Thomas Jefferson

"Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. Do not believe in anything because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason, and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, accept it and live up to it." Buddha

"There are few people so stubborn in their atheism who, when danger is pressing in, will not acknowledge the divine power." Plato

"Faith is the substance of things hoped for, The evidence of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1

"Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important." C S Lewis

"You are never dedicated to something you have complete confidence in. Nobody is fanatically shouting that the sun is going to rise tomorrow. They know is going to rise tomorrow. When people are fanatically dedicated to political or religious faiths or any other kinds of dogmas or goals, it's always because these dogmas or goals are in doubt. " Robert M. Pirsig

"Religion is an attempt to get control over the sensory world, in which we are placed, by means of the wish-world which we have developed inside us as a result of biological and psychological necessites." Sigmund Freud

"Then there are the Christian Satanists, defined as those who are attracted to the iconography of Satanism but can't seem to break away from Christianity's definitions. They continue to work within a primitive framework of Good Vs. Evil, taking the part of Evil instead of Good. They rebel against Christianity, but using the same rules. They may know no more of Satanism than what they see on record jackets. It's a last-ditch effort to preserve their belief system." Anton LaVey

"The Bible looks like it started out as a game of Mad Libs." Bill Maher
