this is one of my favorites "I give money for church organs in the hope the organ music will distract the congregation's attention from the rest of the service."
“I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world.”

- Sigmund Freud
"I have never seen the slightest scientific proof of the religious ideas of heaven and hell, of future life for individuals, or of a personal God. So far as religion of the day is concerned, it is a damned fake… Religion is all bunk."
- Thomas Edison

- Charles Darwin
"I've begun worshipping the Sun for a number of reasons. First of all, unlike some other gods I could mention, I can see the Sun. It's there for me every day. And the things it brings me are quite apparent all the time: heat, light, food, a lovely day. There's no mystery, no one asks for money, I don't have to dress up, and there's no boring pageantry. And interestingly enough, I have found that the prayers I offer to the sun and the prayers I formerly offered to God are all answered at about the same 50-percent rate."
first time i've seen this one and i like it :carlin's quote , "no one asks for money" "and prayers offered are answered at about the same 50-percent rate" jejeje
"When one person suffers from a delusion it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion it is called religion" - Robert Pirsig (though made popular in Richard Dawkins's God Delusion)
"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
We all remember how many religious wars were fought for a religion of love and gentleness; how many bodies were burned alive with the genuinely kind intention of saving souls from the eternal fire of hell.” --Karl Popper
"Man is the religious animal. He is the only religious animal. He is the only animal that has the True Religion –- several of them. He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat, if his theology isn't straight. He has made a graveyard of the globe in trying his honest best to smooth his brother's path to happiness and heaven." --Mark Twain
