Opposition to godliness is atheism in profession and idolatry in practice. Atheism is so senseless and odious to mankind that it never had many professors." - Sir Isaac Newton
"In view of such harmony in the cosmos which I, with my limited human mind, am able to recognize, there are yet people who say there is no God. But what really makes me angry is that they quote me for the support of such views." - Albert Einstein

"All that my work has shown is that you don't have to say that the way the universe began was the personal whim of God." - Stephen Hawking
"It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it." - Albert Einstein
"atheism leads a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation: all of which may be guides to an outward moral virtue..." - Sir Francis Bacon
So do I win the argument now, cos my quotes are better? I doubt it! Quote mining, unless used for humor or effect, is the sign of an argument bereft of any substance at all. And for every crappy one you can dig up, someone else will be able to dig up equal and opposite ones.
