"Religions are all alike � founded upon fables and mythologies."
�- Thomas Jefferson, 1813

"All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit. "
-- Thomas Paine

"Religion is comparable to a childhood neurosis."
-- Sigmund Freud

"No country or people who are slaves to dogma and dogmatic mentality can progress."

"I would like to thank Providence and the Almighty for choosing me of all people to be allowed to wage this battle for Germany"
-- Adolf Hitler - Berlin, March 1936

"History does not record anywhere or at any time a religion that has any rational basis. Religion is a crutch for people not strong enough to stand up to the unkonwn without help. But, like dandruff, most people do have a religion and spend time and money on it and seem to derive considerable pleasure from fiddling with it."
-- Robert Heinlen

"Religion is based mainly on fear. Fear of the mysterious, fear of defeat, fear of death. Fear is the parent of cruelty, and therefore it is no wonder if cruelty and religion have gone hand in hand.
My own view on religion is that of Lucretius. I regard it as a disease born of fear and as a source of untold misery to the human race."
-- Bertrand Russell
