Madalyn Murray O'Hair Atheism Quotations

Religion has caused more misery to all of mankind in every stage of human history than any other single idea.

I want three words: Woman, Atheist, Anarchist. That's me.

Religion has ever been anti-human, anti-woman, anti-life, anti-peace, anti-reason and anti-science. The god idea has been detrimental not only to humankind but to the earth. It is time now for reason, education and science to take over.

Intolerance has always been one of the cornerstones of Christianity - the glorious heritage of the Inquisition.

Atheism is a very positive affirmation of man's ability to think for himself, to do for himself, to find answers to his own problems.

Atheism may be defined as the mental attitude which unreservedly accepts the supremacy of reason and aims at establishing a lifestyle and ethical outlook verifiable by experience and the scientific method, independent of all arbitrary assumptions of authority and creeds.

An atheist strives for involvement in life and not escape into death.
