The most influential of the framers of the U.S. Constitution was not a Christian.
THOMAS JEFFERSON quotes
I do not find in orthodox Christianity one redeeming feature.
I have recently been examining all the known superstitions of the world, and do not find in our particular superstition (Christianity) one redeeming feature. They are all alike founded on fables and mythology.
I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.
I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever.
Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear.
The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time.
Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear.
It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God.
