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
There would be no churches if humanity had not been afraid of the weather, the dark, the plague, the eclipse and all manner of other things now easily explicable. - Christopher Hitchens
I’m completely in favour of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death. - George Carlin
