“Wow. No God. If Mum had lied to me about God, had she also lied to me about Santa? Yes, but who cares? The gifts kept coming. And so did the gifts about my newfound atheism. The gifts of truth, science, nature. The real beauty of this world. Not a world my design, but one by chance. I learned about evolution---a theory so simple and obvious that only England’s greatest genius could have come up with it. Evolution of plants, animals and us---with imagination, free will, love and humor. I no longer needed a reason for my existence, just a reason to live. And imagination, free will, love, humor, fun, music, sports, beer, and pizza are all good enough reasons for living.” (Ricky Gervais) 
"The world is my country; all of humanity are my brethren; and to do good deeds is my religion." (Thomas Paine)
