| A myth is a religion in which no one any
longer believes.
James Feibleman
Impiety, n.: Your irreverence toward my deity.
Ambrose Bierce
Religion is a pill best swallowed without
chewing.
To die for a religion is easier than to live
it absolutely.
Jorge Luis Borges
Men will wrangle for religion; write for
it; fight for it; die for it; anything but live for it.
C.C. Colton
How many observe Christ's birthday! How few
his precepts! O! 'tis easier to keep holidays than commandments.
Benjamin Franklin
It is very important not to mistake hemlock
for parsley, but to believe or not believe in God is not
important at all.
Denis Diderot
I cannot praise the Preacher's eyes,
I never saw his glance divine,
He always shuts them when he prays,
And when he preaches he shuts mine.
Man is certainly stark mad; he cannot make
a worm, and yet he will be making gods by dozens.
Michel de Montaigne
A man without religion is like a horse without
a bridle.
Latin Proverb
There are ten church members by inheritance
for every one by conviction.
Scriptures: the sacred books of our holy
religion, as distinguished from the false and profane writings
on which all other faiths are based.
Ambrose Bierce
What religion a man shall have is a historical
accident, quite as much as what language he shall speak.
George Santayana
I refuse to be labeled immoral merely because
I am godless.
Peter Walker
When lip service to some mysterious deity
permits bestiality on Wednesday and absolution on Sunday,
cash me out.
Frank Sinatra
