“Religion is based . . . mainly on fear . . . fear of the mysterious, fear
of defeat, fear of death. Fear is the parent of cruelty, and therefore it
is no wonder if cruelty and religion have gone hand in hand. . . . My own
view on religion is that of Lucretius. I regard it as a disease born of
fear and as a source of untold misery to the human race.”
by H.L. Mencken
Holy Horrors
“Humanism is the not so radical idea that you can be good without a god. It's the discovery that you not only don't need outdated texts or god experts to make good choices, but that those are frequently poor resources for decision making. Humanists affirm our ability and responsibility to lead ethical lives of personal fulfillment that aspire to the greater good of humanity. We ground that pursuit not in theism or supernatural beliefs, but in the best of modern knowledge determined from trial and error and the scientific process.”

Creating Change Through Humanism
“The philosopher has never killed any priests, whereas the priest has killed a great many philosophers.”
by Denis Diderot
