Religion

We diminish this life by preferring the myth of an afterlife. We sacrifice honesty to the maintenance of a lie. Religion demands time, energy, and money, draining valuable resources from the improvement of this world. - Dan Barker

It has not been the fashion to be scientific about religion, but it is necessary that we should be scientific; it is time that we examined ourselves as to our faith and tried to know what we believe and why, and on what we base our belief. - C. W. Leadbeater

It is hard for many people to give up the religion in which they were born; to admit that their fathers were utterly mistaken, and that the sacred records of their country are but collections of myths and fables. - Robert Green Ingersoll

“Sins” are indispensable to every society organized on an ecclesiastical basis; they are the only reliable weapons of power; the priest lives upon sins; it is necessary to him that there be “sinning. - Friedrich Nietzsche

Of all the animosities which have existed among mankind, those which are caused by a difference of sentiments in religion appear to be the most inveterate and distressing, and ought most to be deprecated. - George Washington

People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them. - Dave Barry

The greatest tragedy in mankind’s entire history may be the hijacking of morality by religion. - Arthur C. Clarke

The inhabitants of the earth are of two sorts: those with brains, but no religion, and those with religion, but no brains. - Abu’l-‘ala’ Al-Ma’arri

Let us feed the hungry. House the homeless. End the wars. Give healthcare to the sick. Empower the weak. Stand up to the system and create a better world for all. Once we have accomplished this, then we can sit around and argue about religion. - Unknown
