"I have examined all the known superstitions of the world, and I do not find in our particular superstition of Christianity one redeeming feature. They are all alike founded on fables and mythology. Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined and imprisoned. What has been the effect of this coercion? To make one half of the world fools and the other half hypocrites; to support roguery and error all over the earth."

That would be from the anti-religion zealot - Thomas Jefferson.

" ...exact saying was that Christianity was the biggest myth perpetrated on mankind..

Well we were simply discussing anti-religion vs religion. Challenging the Christian perspective on God does not make one anti-religious btw ... Jefferson wrote his own bible for cryin' out loud. I am not a Christian btw.
