Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
Steven Weinberg
All outward forms of religion are almost useless, and are the causes of endless strife.... Believe there is a great power silently working all things for good, behave yourself and never mind the rest.
Beatrix Potter

Mark Twain

Lin Yutang
