Atheism Religion Quotes

“It is easy to show that the ego ideal answers to everything that is expected of the higher nature of man. As a substitute for a longing for the father, it contains the germ from which all religions have evolved.”
― Sigmund Freud, The Ego and the Id

“An effort was made to spread this new materialist atheism with its Communist consequence "by the sword" (as the metaphor goes), that is, by the invasion of neighboring countries with consequent further massacres and the extension of the area of despotic Soviet control... This armed attempt at expansion was checked by Catholic Poland, the most immediately exposed victim, in what has been called "one of the decisive battles of the world.”
― Hilaire Belloc, The Crisis of Civilization

“The flaw that I thought most greatly de-legitimized modern Christian theology was the intellectual and moral respect it continued to show modern atheism long after the twentieth century had revealed—and continued to reveal—the violence beating in the heart of programmatic atheism. Was there anything in pro-grammatic atheism’s creatures—National Socialism, Marxist Communism,and Scientificism—that had not revealed itself as tyrannical and vicious? And yet Christian theologians continued to treat atheism with intellectual respect, as if programmatic atheists were modern versions of free-thinkers in French salons (like, e.g., Voltaire). The fact that modern atheism had clearly revealed itself to have more in common with Jean-Paul Marat than with Voltaire was ignored: judgment was never passed. The myth of self-definition of atheist thinkers was taken at face value: each such intellectual was treated as sui-generis—a philosophical freelancer, with no history that needed to be acknowledged and repented of. While even the most independent of any free church Christianity, traditionally anti-Catholic and thus rejecting the history of Christianity prior to the 1860s, was nonetheless regarded as implicated in century old “crimes of Christianity” and denied any status of “freelancing,” atheism was a moral blank slate that could be, and had to be, taken seriously and respected: any atheist had no history that needed to be accounted for. In my eyes the credentialing of pro-grammatic atheism was a deep moral and intellectual failure by modern theologians.”

“Atheism is not a religion, just like not skiing is not a sport.”
― Oliver Markus Malloy, Atheism Memes: 40 Reasons Why I'm An Atheist

“Deism and atheism, both of them are libertarian! Why? Because there is no holy book or religious rules in both of them! In deism, there is a God who has never contacted us, and in atheism, no one has ever contacted us! Basically the same thing! If you want to believe in a religion, forget about religions that impose rules on you and restrict your freedom; always lean towards libertarian movements in life, lean towards philosophies, ideas and beliefs that emphasize reason and logic! This way, you will be on the winning side of history!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan

“Atheists-monotheists-polytheists are all barking up the wrong tree. Under the “Tree of Knowledge” no shadows fall. One is all. And out “There” no gods-hell-heaven stand tall. At the End, in truth and in reality, all belief systems, gods, messiahs - yours or mine - the big and the small, like Dumpty-Dumpty, they all fall.”
― Fakeer Ishavardas

“as far as we know every single sentient being in the universe that’s ever believed in a god is a member of our odd little species, and almost every member of our species has believed in a god. To scientists interested in evolution and human nature, religion is a puzzle that absolutely screams to be solved.
In this book, I’ll argue that religion is not *an evolutionary puzzle* so much as *two evolutionary puzzles* that can only be solved together. First is the Puzzle of Faith: the puzzle of how Homo sapiens—and Homo sapiens alone— came to be a religious species. Second, there is the Puzzle of Atheism: how disbelief in gods can exist within our uniquely religious species.”
