    Bertrand Russell
    “I do not pretend to be able to prove that there is no God. I equally cannot prove that Satan is a fiction. The Christian god may exist; so may the gods of Olympus, or of ancient Egypt, or of Babylon.

    ― Bertrand Russell , Why I Am Not a Christian and Other Essays on Religion and Related Subjects
