Famous People
Thomas Edison
"So far as religion of the day is concerned, it
is a damned fake... Religion is all bunk."
"I have never seen the slightest scientific proof of the religious theories
of heaven and hell, of future life for individuals, or of a personal God."
Lenny Bruce
"He is a born again christian. The trouble is,
he suffered brain damage during rebirth."
Pat Buchanan
"Our culture is superior. Our culture is superior because our
religion is Christianity and that is the truth that makes men free."
"We're going to bring back God and the Bible and drive the gods
of secular humanism right out of the public schools of America."
George Carlin
"If churches want to play the game of politics,
let them pay admission like everyone else"

their own, so both of them together is certain death."
Charlie Chaplin

the ignorant, the aboriginal, and the lazy - but to the enlightened it is
the same as asking Santa Claus to bring you something for Xmas"
"To me, these biblical stories are just so many fish stories, and
I'm not specifically referring to Jonah and the whale. I need
indisputable proof of anything I'm asked to believe. Someone has
to come up with the whys and wherefores."
Kim Goldman
Ron Goldman's Sister
"I'm thankful I didn't believe in God, because it

I don't think there's any difference between the pope wearing
a large hat and parading around with a smoking purse and an
African painting his face white and praying to a rock."
Harry Truman
"When I hear them praying extra loud, I always
go out and check the lock on the smokehouse."
Frank Zappa
"It says he made us all to be just like him. So if we're dumb,
then god is dumb, and maybe even a little ugly on the side."
"The whole foundation of Christianity is based on the idea that
intellectualism is the work of the Devil. Remember the apple on
the tree? O.K., it was the Tree of Knowledge. "You eat this apple,
you're going to be as smart as God. We can't have that".
