“All gods who receive homage are cruel. All gods dispense suffering without reason. Otherwise they would not be worshipped. Through indiscriminate suffering men know fear and fear is the most divine emotion. It is the stones for altars and the beginning of wisdom. Half gods are worshipped in wine and flowers. Real gods require blood.”
by Zora Neale Hurston, author, anthropologist, and filmmaker
Their Eyes Were Watching God
“I can think of few systems more dysfunctional than the Roman Catholic Church – Iran, Uganda, the followers of Warren Jeffs. It's hard to reform a dysfunctional system, especially one that's been around for two thousand years, reaches into nearly every country in the world, and claims divine infallibility.”
by Mary Johnson, Humanist celebrant, former Missionaries of Charity nun, author of An Unquenchable Thirst: A Memoir

“Science can destroy religion by ignoring it as well as by disproving its tenets. No one ever demonstrated, so far as I am aware, the non-existence of Zeus or Thor — but they have few followers now.”
by Arthur C. Clarke
