• Hardly one soldier in a hundred was inspired by religious feeling of even the crudest kind. It would have been difficult to remain religious in the trenches even if one had survived the irreligion of the training battalion at home.

• What man needs is not philosophy or religion in the academic or formalistic sense of the term, but ability to think rightly. The malady of the age is not absence of philosophy or even irreligion but wrong thinking and a vanity which passes for knowledge. Though it is difficult to define right thinking, it cannot be denied that it is the goal of the aspirations of everyone.

• ¿Son las convicciones religiosas una razón poderosa para matar? Es innegable que a menudo sí. También suele ser la única razón de peso para negarse a matar, o para ser misericordioso, o para buscar la paz; sólo la más profunda ignorancia de la historia podría impedir reconocerlo. Porque lo cierto es que la religión y la irreligión son variables culturales, pero matar es una constante humana.

• Uno pensaría que los fanáticos del ateísmo estarían exentos de la única falta que parece surgir del fervor imprudente de la religión. Pero así es, que la irreligión se propaga con tanta ferocidad y contención, ira e indignación, como si la seguridad de la humanidad dependiera de ello.

  Joseph Addison

• I have so great a contempt and detestation for meanness, that I could sooner make a friend of one who had committed murder, than of a person who could be capable, in any instance, of the former vice. Under meanness, I comprehend dishonesty; under dishonesty, ingratitude; under ingratitude, irreligion; and under this latter, every species of vice and immorality in human nature.

• Nadie puede entender París y su historia si no comprende que su ferocidad es el equilibrio y la justificación de su frivolidad. Se la llama ciudad del placer; pero también puede llamársela muy especialmente ciudad del dolor. La corona de rosas es también una corona de espinas. Sus habitantes son muy propensos a herir a los demás, pero también están dispuestos a herirse a sí mismos. Son mártires de la religión, son mártires de la irreligión; incluso son mártires de la inmoralidad.

• My parents gave me the gift of irreligion, of growing up without bothering to ask people what gods they held dear, assuming that in fact, like my parents, they weren't interested in gods, and that this uninterest was 'normal.' You may argue that the gift was a poisoned chalice, but even if so, that's a cup from which I'd happily drink again.

  Salman Rushdie

• the usual attitude of Christians towards Jews is - I hardly know whether to say more impious or more stupid, when viewed in the light of their professed principles. ... They hardly know Christ was a Jew. And I find men, educated, supposing that Christ spoke Greek. To my feeling, this deadness to the history which has prepared half our world for us, this inability to find interest in any form of life that is not clad in the same coat-tails and flounces as our own, lies very close to the worst kind of irreligion.

  George Eliot
