Conventionality is not morality. Self-righteousness is not religion. To attack the first is not to assail the last

In the first is the last, in thy will is my power to believe

It may be that religion is dead, and if it is, we had better know it and set ourselves to try to discover other sources of moral strength before it is too late

When men destroy their old gods they will find new ones to take their place

The idea that a good God would send people to a burning hell is utterly damnable to me - the ravings of insanity, superstition gone to see! I want no part of such a God

The religious man fears, the man of honor scorns, to do an ill action
