Religion is fundamentally opposed to everything I hold in veneration - courage, clear thinking, honesty, fairness, and, above all, love of the truth. - Henry Mencken
Good people can do good and bad people can do evil. But for good people to do evil -- that takes religion. - Steven Weinberg
Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction. - Blaise Pascal
The latter one is quite interesting since he is known for his wager, bet on god and believe that he is and if he is, you gain all, if he does not, you lose nothing, which is a totally fallacy. You lose a lot like just remove science which religion is ready to do and promote ignorance. How is it he recognized the evil of religion and still said it is safer to believe? Slimy bugger.
