MANIFESTAM O SEU EXPLÍCITO APOIO À CAUSA
DOS ATEUS IRLANDESES" CONTRA A "LEI DA BLASFÉMIA"
George Washington:
"The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion"
Thomas Jefferson:
"History I believe furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance, of which their political as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purpose"
"The Christian god can easily be pictured as virtually the same god as the many ancient gods of past civilizations. The Christian god is a three headed monster; cruel, vengeful and capricious. If one wishes to know more of this raging, three headed beast-like god, one only needs to look at the caliber of people who say they serve him. They are always of two classes: fools and hypocrites"
"Religions are all alike – founded upon fables and mythologies"
"Christianity is the most perverted system that ever shone on man"
John Adams:
"Can a free government possibly exist with the Roman Catholic religion?"
"I almost shudder at the thought of alluding to the most fatal example of the abuses of grief which the history of mankind has preserved -- the Cross. Consider what calamities that engine of grief has produced!"
James Madison:
"During almost fifteen centuries has the legal establishment of Christianity been on trial. What has been its fruits? More or less, in all places, pride and indolence in the clergy; ignorance and servility in the laity; in both, superstition, bigotry, and persecution"
"In no instance have . . . the churches been guardians of the liberties of the people. Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind and unfits it for every noble enterprise"
Abraham Lincoln:
"The Bible is not my book nor Christianity my profession"
(2010)
