See what RELIGION does to peoples' minds?

Adults no longer believe in the Tooth Fairy - but they still torture and 
kill each other over ancient myths and superstitions.

"We all remember how many religious wars were fought for a religion of love 
and gentleness; how many bodies were burned alive with the genuinely kind 
intention of saving souls from the eternal fire of hell." --- Karl Popper

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

Either God wants to abolish evil and cannot, or he can but does not want to. 
If he wants to but cannot he is impotent. If he can but does not want to, he 
is wicked. If he neither can nor wants to, then he is both powerless and 
wicked.
--- Epicurus, Greek philosopher, circa 300 B.C.

"With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and 
evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that 
takes religion."
--- Steven Weinberg, quoted in The New York Times, April 20, 1999

"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, 
and by rulers as useful."
--- Seneca the Younger (4? BC - 65 AD)

"Religion once ruled the world. It was called the Dark Ages." --- Ruth 
Green.

"Science flies you to the moon. Religion flies you into buildings." ---  
Victor Stenger.

"I don't believe in God because I don't believe in Mother Goose." ---  
Clarence Darrow

"As my ancestors are free from slavery, I am free from the slavery of 
religion." --- Butterfly McQueen

"Faith is believing what you know ain't so." --- Mark Twain

"The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in 
all fiction." --- Richard Dawkins

"Cult today, religion tomorrow."
