“I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.” Stephen Roberts
“I don’t believe in God. My god is patriotism. Teach a man to be a good citizen and you have solved the problem of life.” Andrew Carnegie
“Our ignorance is God; what we know is science.” Robert Ingersoll
