I am an atheist and would like to share some quotes about God, religion and faith by some famous genius personalities we have ever seen.
I will add more quotes from some other genius personalities.
Hope you will think on the quotes.
Albert Einstein, Great Scientist of 20th Century:
A man's ethical behavior should be effectively based on sympathy, education and social ties, not on religious basis. Man would be indeed in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death
The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish.
Thus I came... to a deep religiosity, which, however, reached an abrupt end at the age of 12. Through the reading of popular scientific books I soon reached a conviction that much in the stories of the Bible could not be true... Suspicion against every kind of authority grew out of this experience... an attitude which has never left me.
Carl Sagan:
Extraordinary Claims require extraordinary evidence
Atheism is more than just the knowledge that gods do not exist, and that religion is either a mistake or a fraud. Atheism is an attitude, a frame of mind that looks at the world objectively, fearlessly, always trying to understand all things as a part of nature part of nature.
Sigmund Freud:
Religion is an illusion and it derives its strength from the fact that it falls in with our instinctual desires.
Thomas Alva Edison:
I have never seen the slightest scientific proof of the religious ideas of heaven and hell, of future life for individuals, or of a personal God. So far as religion of the day is concerned, it is a damned fake… Religion is all bunk.
My mind is incapable of conceiving such a thing as a soul. I may be in error, and man may have a soul; but I simply do not believe it.
To those searching for truth - not the truth of dogma and darkness but the truth brought by reason, search, examination, and inquiry, discipline is required. For faith, as well intentioned as it may be, must be built on facts, not fiction - faith in fiction is a damnable false hope.
Thomas Paine:
I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my church.
Mark Twain:
The easy confidence with which I know another man`s religion is folly teaches me to suspect that my own is also.
Charles Darwin:
I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created parasitic wasps with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of Caterpillars.
I am aware that the assumed instinctive belief in God has been used by many persons as an argument for his existence. The idea of a universal and beneficent Creator does not seem to arise in the mind of man, until he has been elevated by long-continued culture.
Friedrich Nietzsche:
Do not allow yourselves to be deceived: Great Minds are Skeptical.
Faith means not wanting to know what is true
Which is it, is man one of God`s blunders or is God one of man`s?
Richard Dawkins:
Religious faith not only lacks evidence, its independence from evidence is its pride and joy, shouted from the rooftops.
