Religion is not merely the opium of the masses, it's the cyanide.

Religion is a by-product of fear. For much of human history, it may have been a necessary evil, but why was it more evil than necessary? Isn't killing people in the name of God a pretty good definition of insanity?

I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish Church, by the Roman Church, by the Greek Church, by the Turkish (Muslim) Church, by the Protestant Church, nor by any Church that I know of. My own mind is my own Church.

“We are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further.”

Suppose we've chosen the wrong god. Every time we go to church we're just making him madder and madder.
