Religious people are atheists about all other gods, atheists only take it one god further.

I mean, in a way, I feel that one of the reasons for learning about Darwinian evolution is as an object lesson in how not to set up our values and social lives.

How thoughtful of God to arrange matters so that, wherever you happen to be born, the local religion always turns out to be the true one.

I am utterly fed up with the respect we have been brainwashed into bestowing upon religion.

Words are our servants, not our masters. For different purposes, we find it convenient to use words in different senses.

I believe that an orderly universe, one indifferent to human preoccupations, in which everything has an explanation even if we still have a long way to go before we find it, is a more beautiful, more wonderful place than a universe tricked out with capricious ad hoc magic.

There is something so mysterious that it is almost like God. God is in the equations. God is in the fundamental constants. And that's fine. I mean, that's just redefinition of that which we find mysterious at the basis of the universe.
