All the holy scriptures of all the world's major religions are nonsense.

All religions fall far short of their own ideals.

Religion is nothing more than bad concepts held in place of good ones for all time. It is denial - at once full of hope and full of fear - of the vastitude of human ignorance.

The most obvious failure of organized religions is surely that almost all of them have made a mockery of what their founders taught.

"Every one of the world's "great" religions utterly trivializes the immensity and beauty of the cosmos. Books like the Bible and the Koran get almost every significant fact about us and our world wrong. Every scientific domain — from cosmology to psychology to economics — has superseded and surpassed the wisdom of Scripture.

Everything of value that people get from religion can be had more honestly, without presuming anything on insufficient evidence. The rest is self-deception, set to music."

All religions are founded on the fear of the many and the cleverness of the few.

every religion preaches the truth of propositions for which it has no evidence.

Because most religions offer no valid mechanism by which their core beliefs can be tested and revised, each new generation of believers is condemned to inherit the superstitions and tribal hatreds of its predecessors.

So far as the religion of the day is concerned, it is a damned fake ... Religion is all bunk.

Every religion in the world that has destroyed people is based on love.

All religions are human attempts to find God. But they all have this in common: they have all gone astray in the fog and have not been able to discover God.

All our scientific and philosophic ideals are altars to unknown gods.

Religion is always falling apart.

It is absurd to quote religion or God or religious doctrines to render the people as lowest castes.
