There's nothing worse than the British in one of their fits of morality.
Stephen Fry

Atheism comes into rather a bad press and I suppose I'd rather describe myself as a humanist... I don't believe in God. I don't believe there is a God.
Stephen Fry

I don't believe there is a God. If I were to believe in a god, l would believe in gods.

Image
My first meeting with you only confirmed what I first suspected. You are a fraud, a charlatan and a shyster. My favourite kind of person, in fact.
