"All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling man's life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual towards freedom." ---Albert Einstein

"When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion." ---Abraham Lincoln

"But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg." --- Thomas Jefferson

"I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death." --- George Carlin

"It seems to me that the idea of a personal God is an anthropological concept which I cannot take seriously. I also cannot imagine some will or goal outside the human sphere... Science has been charged with undermining morality, but the charge is unjust. A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death." --- Albert Einstein

"We could call Order by the name of God, but it would be an impersonal God. There's not much personal about the laws of physics." --- Stephen Hawking

"The foolish reject what they see and not what they think; the wise reject what they think and not what they see." --- Huang Po
