"Christians. They’re determined to rid the land of any who worship the Horned One. Murdering all the druids, burning the temples, sometimes whole villages, and knocking over the standing stones.” The Lady’s face hardened. “This god of peace and love certainly likes to bathe the land in blood."

"The believer in magic and miracles reflects on how to impose a law on nature--: and, in brief, the religious cult is the outcome of this reflection."

"There is no limit to the amount of intelligence invested in ignorance when the need for illusion runs deep."

"Both porn and religion distort a person’s perspectives on women."

"للعبد رب هو ملاقيه ،وبيت هو ساكنه ،فينبغى له أن يسترضى ربه قبل لقائه ،ويعمر بيته قبل انتقاله إليه."

"The essence of Christianity is told us in the Garden of Eden history. The fruit that was forbidden was on the tree of knowledge.

"მე მომხრე ვარ, რომ სკოლაში ისწავლებოდეს რელიგიის ისტორია საერთოდ. მაგრამ არა ქრისტიანობის ისტორია გამოყოფით. რელიგიის ისტორიის სწავლება ჩემთვის ნიშნავს ყველა დიდი რელიგიის -ქრისტიანობის, ისლამის, იუდაიზმის, ბუდიზმის - ძირეულ დებულებათა შედარებით შესწავლას."

"The world is so exquisite with so much love and moral depth, that there is no reason to deceive ourselves with pretty stories for which there's little good evidence. Far better it seems to me, in our vulnerability, is to look death in the eye and to be grateful every day for the brief but magnificent opportunity that life provides."

"I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit."

"There's no God higher than truth."
