Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear.

Thomas Jefferson

Ask a deeply religious Christian if he'd rather live next to a bearded Muslim that may or may not be plotting a terror attack, or an atheist that may or may not show him how to set up a wireless network in his house. On the scale of prejudice, atheists don't seem so bad lately.

Scott Adams

If there were no God, there would be no Atheists.

G. K. Chesterton

I am an atheist, myself. A simple faith, but a great comfort to me, in these last days.

Lois McMaster Bujold

In no instance have . . . the churches been guardians of the liberties of the people.

James Madison

To you I'm an atheist; to God, I'm the Loyal Opposition.

Woody Allen

How can I believe in God when just last week I got my tongue caught in the roller of an electric typewriter?

Woody Allen

I don't know if God exists, but it would be better for His reputation if He didn't.

Jules Renard

Atheist: A person who believes in one less god than you do.

If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him.

Voltaire

No philosophy, no religion, has ever brought so glad a message to the world as this good news of Atheism.

Annie Besant

We are all atheists about most of the gods that societies have ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further.

The worst moment for the atheist is when he is really thankful and has nobody to thank.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti

When I told the people of Northern Ireland that I was an atheist, a woman in the audience stood up and said, 'Yes, but is it the God of the Catholics or the God of the Protestants in whom you don't believe?'

Quentin Crisp

If you want me to believe in God, you must make me touch him.

Denis Diderot

Nobody talks so constantly about God as those who insist that there is no God.

Heywood C. Broun

If atheism is to be used to express the state of mind in which God is identified with the unknowable, and theology is pronounced to be a collection of meaningless words about unintelligible chimeras, then I have no doubt, and I think few people doubt.

Leslie Stephen

The atheist has no hope.

James Freeman Clarke

I'm still an atheist, thank God.

Luis Bunuel

To be an atheist requires an infinitely greater measure of faith than to receive all the great truths which atheism would deny.

Joseph Addison

Religion is about turning untested belief into unshakeable truth through the power of institutions and the passage of time.

Richard Dawkins

I once wanted to become an atheist, but I gave up - they have no holidays.

Henny Youngman

I’m the world’s least happy atheist. I miss having religious faith, but trying to have it seems like trying to be in love with someone that you’re not in love with.

Lisa Williams

He was an embittered atheist, the sort of atheist who does not so much disbelieve in God as personally dislike Him.

George Orwell

The gospel of Christian atheism.

John Robinson

Atheism, the same than religion, can be cause of conviction or gregarism.
