What smart people think about religions?

Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet. - Napoleon

What happens when we're dead? The irony is that all our questions will be answered after we die. We spend our whole life trying to figure out the truth and the only way we'll find out what it is, is to get hit by a bus. And the only comfort that religion offers is that God is driving that bus.
-John Ryman, "When Galaxies Collide"

Man is certainly stark mad. He cannot even make a worm, and yet he will be making gods by the dozens. - Montaigne

No god ever gave any man anything, nor ever answered any prayer at anytime, nor ever will.
- Madalyn Murray O'Hair

I do not believe in a God of theology who rewards good and punishes evil. -Albert Einstein

This would be the best of all possible worlds if there were no religion in it. - John Adams, 2nd president of the U.S.
