"I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Turkish church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my own church."	Thomas Paine
"Where knowledge ends, religion begins."	Benjamin Disraeli
"Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet."	Napoleon Bonaparte
"What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires -- desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way."	Bertrand Russell

"Ocean: A body of water occupying 2/3 of a world made for man...who has no gills."	Ambrose Bierce
"Take from the church the miraculous, the supernatural, the incomprehensible, the unreasonable, the impossible, the unknowable, the absurd, and nothing but a vacuum remains."	Robert G. Ingersoll

"Religion to me has always been the wound, not the bandage."	Dennis Potter
"To assert that the earth revolves around the sun is as erroneous as to claim that Jesus was not born of a virgin."	Cardinal Bellarmine
