I think the Constitution has been upheld. I think they made the right decision.
Michael Newdow

My paternal grandmother would not light a fire on the Sabbath and piled all Sunday's washing-up in a bucket, to be dealt with on Monday morning, because the Sabbath was a day of rest--a practice that made my paternal grandfather, the village atheist, as mad as fire. Nevertheless, he willed five quid to the minister, just to be on the safe side.

Mother goddesses are just as silly a notion as father gods. If a revival of the myths of these cults gives woman emotional satisfaction, it does so at the price of obscuring the real conditions of life. This is why they were invented in the first place.
Angela Carter

We all ought to understand we're on our own. Believing in Santa Claus doesn't do kids any harm for a few years but it isn't smart for them to continue waiting all their lives for him to come down the chimney with something wonderful. Santa Claus and God are cousins.
Andy Rooney

Life is an end in itself, and the only question as to whether it is worth living is whether you have had enough of it.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
Image
A man is his own easiest dupe, for what he wishes to be true he generally believes to be true.
Demosthenes
Image
A man is allowed sufficient freedom of thought, provided he knows how to choose his subject properly.... But the scene is changed as you come homeward, and atheism or treason may be the names given in Britain to what would be reason and truth if asserted in China.
Edmund Burke
Image
Thomas Paine needs no monument made with hands he has erected a monument in the hearts of all lovers of liberty.
Andrew Jackson
Image
I could not do otherwise without transcending the limits prescribed by the Constitution for the President and without feeling that I might in some degree disturb the security which religion nowadays enjoys in this country in its complete separation from the political concerns of the General Government.
Andrew Jackson
Image
Certain things are complete superstition and have no validity at all in the Bible. Yeah. They're just the antithesis of everything that is correct intellectually.
Lenny Bruce
Image
Women get more unhappy the more they try to liberate themselves.
Brigitte Bardot
Image
Give me a child for the first 5 years of his life and he will be mine forever.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Autocracy cannot do without its twin agents: a hangman and a priest, the first to suppress popular resistance by force, the second to sweeten and embellish the lot of the oppressed with empty promises of a heavenly kingdom.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
There are no morals in politics there is only expedience. A scoundrel may be of use to us just because he is a scoundrel.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
In the dark colony of night, when I consider man's magnificent capacity for malice, madness, folly, envy, rage, and destructiveness, and I wonder whether we shall not end up as breakfast for newts and polyps, I seem to hear the muffled cries of all the words in all the books with covers closed.
Leo Rosten
Image
I give money for church organs in the hope the organ music will distract the congregation's attention from the rest of the service.
Andrew Carnegie
Image
Even in this secular country, the threat posed by religious fundamentalists is never very far away. Every major religious text exhorts the same principles - that of unyielding obedience to a supernatural being, and renunciation of the intellect and personal aspirations.
Andrew Bernstein
Image
There are a lot of legislators who are afraid that kids will learn science and lose their faith.
Lawrence M. Krauss
Image
The evaporation of 4 million who believe in this crap would leave the world a better place.
Andrei Codrescu
Image
That's all religion is -- some principle you believe in . . . man has accomplished far more miracles than the God he invented. What a tragedy it is to invent a God and then suffer to keep him King.
Rod Steiger
Image
He was extremely reticent in his religious sentiments, at least in all that he wrote. Allusions to his belief are rarely, if ever, to be met with in his correspondence.
Daniel Coit Gilman
Image
Not a single one of your ancestors died young. They all copulated at least once.
Richard Dawkins
Image
I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: 'O Lord make my enemies ridiculous.' And God granted it.
Voltaire
Image
The Bible. That is what fools have written, what imbeciles commend, what rogues teach and young children are made to learn by heart.
