“Whether or not you believe in God, you must believe this: when we as a species abandon our trust in a power greater than us, we abandon our sense of accountability. Faiths… all faiths… are admonitions that there is something we cannot understand, something to which we are accountable. With faith we are accountable to each other, to ourselves, and to a higher truth. Religion is flawed, but only because man is flawed. The church consists of a brotherhood of imperfect, simple souls wanting only to be a voice of compassion in a world spinning out of control.” 
― Dan Brown

“There is not enough love and goodness in the world to permit giving any of it away to imaginary beings.” 
― Friedrich Nietzsche

“God is a circle whose center is everywhere and circumference nowhere.” 
― Voltaire

“I wore black because I liked it. I still do, and wearing it still means something to me. It's still my symbol of rebellion -- against a stagnant status quo, against our hypocritical houses of God, against people whose minds are closed to others' ideas.” 
― Johnny Cash

“Still amazes me that people spend more time researching a new vehicle than they do the religion they entrust their souls to.” 
― Larissa Ione

“When one person suffers from a delusion, it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion it is called a Religion.” 
― Robert M. Pirsig

“He who does not reflect his life back to God in gratitude does not know himself.” 
― Albert Schweitzer

“Yes, the long war on Christianity. I pray that one day we may live in an America where Christians can worship freely! In broad daylight! Openly wearing the symbols of their religion... perhaps around their necks? And maybe -- dare I dream it? -- maybe one day there can be an openly Christian President. Or, perhaps, 43 of them. Consecutively.” 
― Jon Stewart
