Atheism

Quotes



All thinking men are atheists.

A Farewell to Arms
She believed in nothing; only her skepticism kept her from being an atheist
An atheist is but a mad, ridiculous derider of piety, but a hypocrite makes a sober jest of God and religion; he finds it easier to be upon his knees than to rise to a good action
Supposing all the great points of atheism were formed into a kind of creed, I would fain ask whether it would not require an infinite greater measure of faith than any set of articles which they so violently oppose
One would fancy that the zealots in atheism would be exempt from the single fault which seems to grow out of the imprudent fervor of religion. But so it is, that irreligion is propagated with as much fierceness and contention, wrath and indignation, as if the safety of mankind depended upon it
To be an atheist requires an indefinitely greater measure of faith than to receive all the great truths which atheism would deny
A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism; but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion
Great hypocrite are the real atheists
Atheism is rather in the life than in the heart of man
