Thats definitely my favourite Carl Sagan quote... it's awesome. So obvious yet it doesn't occur to so many people; or they simply don't care.

I've edited this post because I've found another Carl Sagan quote that I find atleast as inspiring after all: "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. " - Carl Sagan.
