• The beginning of wisdom is found in doubting; by doubting we come to the question, and by seeking we may come upon the truth.   -- Pierre Abelard
  
  
• "Every advance in natural knowledge has involved the absolute rejection of authority." -- T.H. Huxley, Lay Sermons, 1870
  
  
• "It is not disbelief which is dangerous to our society; it is belief." -- G.B. Shaw, Androcles and the Lion, 1912
  
  
• "Adjustment, the synonym for conformity that comes more easily to the modern tongue, is the theme of our swan song, the piper's tune to which we dance on the brink of the abyss, the siren's melody that destroys and paralyzes our wills." -- Robert Lindner, Must You Conform?, 1956

• We are all atheists with respect to Zeus and Thor. Only the atheist has realized that the biblical god is no different. Consequently, only the atheist is compassionate enough to take the profundity of the world’s suffering at face value. It is terrible that we all die and lose everything we love; it is doubly terrible that so many human beings suffer needlessly while alive. That so much of this suffering can be directly attributed to religion -- to religious hatreds, religious wars, religious delusions, and religious diversions of scarce resources -- is what makes atheism a moral and intellectual necessity. It is a necessity, however, that places the atheist at the margins of society. The atheist, by merely being in touch with reality, appears shamefully out of touch with the fantasy life of his neighbors. -- Richard Dawkins
