[Richard Dawkins - about religious trolls]
"I recieve a large number of letters from readers of my books, [more than I can hope adequately to reply, for which I apologize] most of them enthusiastically friendly, some of them helpfully critical, a few nasty or even vicious. And the nastiest of all, I am sorry to report, are almost invariably motivated by religion. Such un-christian abuse is commonly experienced by those who are perceived as enemies of Christianity." - The God Delusion, Chapter 6, p. 211

I want nothing to do with any religion concerned with keeping the masses satisfied to live in hunger, filth and ignorance. I want nothing to do with any order, religious or otherwise, which does not teach people that they are capable of becoming happier and more civilized, on this earth, capable of becoming true MAN, master of his fate and captain of his soul.
-Jawaharlal Nehru

[referring to holy texts] "The fact that something is written down is persuasive to people not used to asking questions like: 'Who wrote it, and when?' 'How did they know what to write?' 'Did they, in their time, really mean what we, in our time, understand them to be saying?' 'Were they unbiased observers, or did they have an agenda that coloured their writing?'" - Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion [p.92]
