The Quotable Atheist: Ammunition
for Non-Believers, Political Junkies,
Gadflies, and Those Generally Hell-
Bound by Jack Huberman
My Primary Quote Book
Surprisingly, no book of quotations on God and religion by atheists and
agnostics exists. Luckily, for the millions of American nonbelievers who
have quietly stewed for years as the religious right made gains in politics
and culture, the wait is over. Bestselling author Jack Hubermans zeitgeist
sense has honed into the backlash building against religious
fundamentalism and collected a veritable treasure trove of quotes by
philosophers, scientists, poets, writers, artists, entertainers, and political
figures. His colorful cast of atheists includes Karen Armstrong, Lance
Armstrong, Jules Feiffer, Federico Fellini, H. L. Mencken, Ian McKellen,
Isaac Singer, Jonathan Swift, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Virginia Woolf and the
Marquis de Sade.

Believers, Political Junkies, Gadflies, and Those Generally Hell-
Bound by Jack Huberman
Seriously: I refer to this one more than to all my other quote books put
together. The following sampling is a part of one I did on my blog about
several quote books.
"Properly read, the Bible is the most potent force for atheism ever
conceived." Isaac Asimov
"As the caterpillar chooses the fairest leaves to lay her eggs on, so the
priest lays his curse on the fairest joys." William Blake
"Anyone who engages in the practice of psychotherapy confronts every
day the devastation wrought by the teachings of religion." Nathaniel
Branden
"Although I'm an atheist, I don't fear death more than, say, sharing a room
in a detox center with a sobbing Rush Limbaugh." Berkeley Breathed
"The more I study religions, the more I am convinced that man never
worshiped anything but himself." Sir Richard Burton
"Of religion I know nothing -- at least, in its favor." Lord Byron
"Atheism is a non-prophet organization." George Carlin
"I don't believe in God but I'm very interested in her." Arthur C. Clarke
"Some of you say religion makes people happy. So does laughing gas.
So does whiskey." Clarence Darrow
"I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not
understanding the world." Richard Dawkins
"Nothing exists except atoms and empty space; everything else is opinion."
Democritus
"I prayed for freedom for twenty years, but received no answer until I
prayed with my legs." Frederick Douglass
"Assure a man that he has a soul and then frighten him with old wives'
tales as to what is to become of him afterward, and you have hooked a
fish, a mental slave." Theodore Dreiser
"Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind." Ralph Waldo
Emerson
"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is
he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and
willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then
why call him God?" Epicurus
