... religion is a crutch, and only the crippled need crutches.

An Atheists loves himself and his fellow man instead of a god. An Atheist thinks that heaven is something for which we should work for now - here on earth - for all men together to enjoy.

Well, we are men. Let's start acting like it.

I'm thrilled to feel that I can rely on myself totally and absolutely; that my children are being brought up so that when they meet a problem they can't cop out by foisting it off on God.

There are good, humanitarian people everywhere - occasionally even in the Church.

The atheist must abandon his defensive positions, take up the cudgels and go forward, rather than into the retreat of apathy.

I want to drink life to the dregs, to enlarge myself to the absolute limits of my being - and to strive for a society in which everyone -regardless of race, creed, color and especially religious conviction - has the same exhilarating raison d'être, and the same opportunity to fulfill it.
