A few of my favorite quotes"
"A man's ethical behavior should be
based effectual on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after
death." Albert EinsteinFrom fanaticism to barbarism is only one step. -- Denis Diderot, Essai sur le Mérite de la Vertu (1745) Mankind shall not be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest. -- Denis DiderotWhen an objection cannot be made
formidable, there is some policy in trying to make it frightful; and to substitute the yell and the war-whoop, in the place of reason, argument, and good order.
