“I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.”

“Everybody is an atheist in saying that there is a god - from Ra to Shiva - in which he does not believe. All that the serious and objective atheist does is to take the next step and to say that there is just one more god to disbelieve in.”
