Some more quotes for my list of favorite quotes.

These quotes are from ANDRE L.

"Every bit of human progress came *in spite* of religion, not because of it."

"There once was a time when all people believed in God and the church ruled. This time was called the Dark Ages."
-- Richard Lederer

“Radical Muslims fly planes into buildings. Radical Christians kill abortion doctors. Radical atheists write books.”
--Hemant Mehta

"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 US physicist

"It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it."
-- Albert Einstein, letter to an atheist (1954), quoted in Albert Einstein: The Human Side, edited by Helen Dukas & Banesh Hoffman
