"Three rings for the Elven-kings under the sky. Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone. Nine for mortal men about to die. One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne, in Mordor where the shadows lie. One Ring to find them. One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. One Ring to rule them all!" (J.R.R. Tolkien)
"The world is my country; all of humanity are my brethren; and to do good deeds is my religion." (Thomas Paine)

“Progress is born of doubt and inquiry. The Church never doubts, never inquires. To doubt is heresy, to inquire is to admit you do not know──the Church does neither.” (Robert G. Ingersoll)

“In dark ages people are best guided by religion, as in a pitch-black night a blind man is the best guide; he knows the roads and paths better than a man who can see. When daylight comes, however, it is foolish to use blind, old men as guides.” ~ Heinrich Heine
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

“Christianity was an epidemic rather than a religion. It appealed to fear, hysteria and ignorance. It spread across the western world, not because it was true, but because humans are gullible and superstitious.” (Colin Wilson)
