The production of too many useful things results in too many useless people.
Karl Marx
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
Arthur C. Clarke
Although atheism might have been logically tenable before Darwin, Darwin made it possible to be an intellectually fulfilled atheist.
The Blind Watchmaker
from Richard Dawkins
What worries me about religion is that it teaches people to be satisfied with not understanding.
Heart Of The Matter: God Under The Microscope | BBC (1996)
from Richard Dawkins
Man is the religious animal. He is the only religious animal. He is the only animal that has the True Religion –- several of them. He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat, if his theology isn’t straight. He has made a graveyard of the globe in trying his honest best to smooth his brother’s path to happiness and heaven.
from Mark Twain
It is often said, mainly by the ‘no-contests’, that although there is no positive evidence for the existence of God, nor is there evidence against his existence. So it is best to keep an open mind and be agnostic. At first sight that seems an unassailable position, at least in the weak sense of Pascal’s wager. But on second thoughts it seems a cop-out, because the same could be said of Father Christmas and tooth fairies. There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can’t prove that there aren’t any, so shouldn’t we be agnostic with respect to fairies?
The Independent (London), April 20, 1992, p.17

„A scientist’s case against God“
Religion is the most malevolent of all mind viruses.
The Onion AV Club interview
from Arthur C. Clarke
Religion, n. A daughter of Hope and Fear, explaining to Ignorance the nature of the Unknowable.
from Ambrose Bierce in The Devil’s Dictionary
The different religions have never overlooked the part played by the sense of guilt in civilization. What is more, they come forward with a claim…to save mankind from this sense of guilt, which they call sin.
from Sigmund Freud
Civilization and its Discontents (1931)
