But, there were some great quotations on-line: (gathered from Goodreads, Ask Atheists and Brainy Quote)
- “We are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further.” — Richard Dawkins in “The God Delusion"
- “To you, I'm an atheist. To God, I'm the loyal opposition.” — Woody Allen
- “Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time! But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can't handle money!” — George Carlin
- “Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.” — Edward Gibbon
- “Is man merely a mistake of God's? Or God merely a mistake of man?” — Friedrich Nietzsche
- “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
- “Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet.” — Napoleon Bonaparte
- “Atheism is a non-prophet organization.” — George Carlin
- “Properly read, the Bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived.” — Isaac Asimov
- “To terrify children with the image of hell, to consider women an inferior creation—is that good for the world?” —Christopher Hitchens
- “Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?” — Douglas Adams in “The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy”
