I don’t believe in God. My god is patriotism. Teach a man to be a good citizen and you have solved the problem of life. — Andrew Carnegie
*Shakes head*
Patriotism solves everything? Thanks for the libraries, Mr. Carnegie, but I think the "problem of life" is about more than good citizenship.

They missed this one.
George Carlin
Religion easily has the best bulls**t story of all time. Think about it. Religion has convinced people that there's an invisible man...living in the sky. Who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn't want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer, and burn, and scream, until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you. He loves you and he needs money.
This one too.

"I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours." --Stephen Roberts
"And if there were a God, I think it very unlikely that He would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence" --Bertrand Russell
"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?" --Epicurus
"It is better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring." --Carl Sagan
"We must question the story logic of having an all-knowing all-powerful God, who creates faulty Humans, and then blames them for his own mistakes" --Gene Roddenberry
"You can't convince a believer of anything; for their belief is not based on evidence, it's based on a deep-seated need to believe." --Carl Sagan
"With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion." --Steven Weinberg
"A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death" --Albert Einstein
"We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart" --H. L. Mencken
"I have examined all the known superstitions of the world, and I do not find in our particular superstition of Christianity one redeeming feature. They are all alike founded on fables and mythology." --Thomas Jefferson
"The easy confidence with which I know another man's religion is folly teaches me to suspect that my own is also" --Mark Twain
"An Atheist believes that a hospital should be built instead of a church. An Atheist believes that deed must be done instead of a prayer said. An Atheist strives for involvement in life and not escape into death. He wants disease conquered, poverty vanished" --Justin Brown

Wow somebody's pretty pumped about atheism quotes...
Anyways, Benjamin Franklin was actually deist (along with most of the other founding father).
