Mao Zedong

… religion is poison

Nassim Nicholas Taleb

I'm in favour of religion as a tamer of arrogance. For a Greek Orthodox, the idea of God as creator outside the human is not God in God's terms. My God isn't the God of George Bush.

Marilyn Manson

My first memories of religion were being taken to Episcopal church. My father was Catholic, but my mother, I believe, was Episcopal. So I sort of veered off into the watered-down version of Catholicism.

George R. R. Martin

I suppose I'm a lapsed Catholic. You would consider me an atheist or agnostic.

Nikola Tesla

There is no conflict between the ideal of religion and the ideal of science, but science is opposed to theological dogmas because science is founded on fact. To me, the universe is simply a great machine which never came into being and never will end. The human being is no exception to the natural order. Man, like the universe, is a machine.

Tom Araya

I was born and raised Catholic.

John Henry Newman

To be deep in history is to cease to be a Protestant.

For the majority of the time of Christian History, it has been Catholic Christian History. Protestantism did not begin until the 16th Century.

Carl Sagan

The idea that God is an oversized white male with a flowing beard who sits in the sky and tallies the fall of every sparrow is ludicrous.

This God is emotionally unsatisfying... it does not make much sense to pray to the law of gravity.

Michael Eisner

I grew up Jewish. I am Jewish. I went to an Episcopal high school. I went to a Baptist college. I've taken every comparative-religion course that was available. God? I have no idea.

Albert Einstein

Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.

Albert Einstein

I believe in Spinoza's God, who reveals himself in the harmony of all that exists, not in a God who concerns himself with the fate and the doings of mankind.

The original was in German. Spinoza was a Dutch Philosopher who originated this abstract notion of a universal God. This was one of the reasons fro his excommunication. Spinoza’s ideas were considered so radical and dangerous that he was the only man in history who was excommunicated by the Catholics, the Jews and the Muslims.

Friedrich Nietzsche

The Antichrist, Section 7

Sherrod Brown

My Lutheran faith is important to me.

Friedrich Nietzsche

If there were gods, how could I endure not to be a god? Therefore there are no gods.

Dan Bilzerian

I will tell you that I'm not religious.

Woody Harrelson

I went to a Presbyterian college, you know, I was in... all the way, and so I remember doing my first sermon when I was 17, I was in high school. It wasn't a full twenty-five minute sermon, but for like ten minutes I got up and they let me do that, and it was on faith.
