I believe the fast track to atheism is reading the Bible. I've read it three times all the way through. It's a big part of our culture, a big part of our history. I don't just read things I agree with.

I'm always surprised when the corporate world does stupid things, because they're often not very stupid in hindsight.

Atheism is the absence of religion. We don’t really need atheism. We just need to get rid of religion.

I think one of the things about Donald Trump that's interesting is he lives in a rarified atmosphere where it's possible that he doesn't get enough feedback, enough people rolling their eyes at him. It's a danger more in show business than it is with wealth.

I don't believe in vengeance. Really, when all is said and done, I probably don't believe in punishment.

Every day, TV, newspapers, and the Internet bombard us with a message that we're destroying the earth. Ice caps are melting, rivers are dying, polar bears are drowning, and trees are doing something.

Behaving morally because of a hope of reward or a fear of punishment is not morality.
