If ever I expected to come face to face with an angry Christian fundamentalist, it wasn’t in FAO Schwarz.

I don’t believe in an afterlife, so I don’t have to spend my whole life fearing hell, or fearing heaven even more. For whatever the tortures of hell, I think the boredom of heaven would be even worse.

Too many Christians live their lives like slaves – to the devil – because they believe his lies more than they trust God.

Faith certainly tells us what the senses do not, but not the contrary of what they see; it is above, not against them.

I have seen how the foundations of the world are laid, and I have not the least doubt that it will stand a good while.

I am a deeply religious nonbeliever – this is a somewhat new kind of religion.

To terrify children with the image of hell… to consider women an inferior creation. Is that good for the world?

I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.

Well look, I mean, I think that prayer and holy water, and things like that are all fine. They don’t do any good, but they don’t necessarily do any harm. It’s touching to be thought of in that way. It makes up for those who tell me that I’ve got my just desserts.

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

It may be that our role on this planet is not to worship God – but to create him.

Religion is essentially the art and the theory of the remaking of man. Man is not a finished creation.
