Book Review: My primary quote book
Summary: 5 Stars
Seriously: I refer to this one more than to all my other quote books put together. The following sampling is a part of one I did on my blog about several quote books.
"Properly read, the Bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived." Isaac Asimov
"As the caterpillar chooses the fairest leaves to lay her eggs on, so the priest lays his curse on the fairest joys." William Blake
"Anyone who engages in the practice of psychotherapy confronts every day the devastation wrought by the teachings of religion." Nathaniel Branden
"Although I'm an atheist, I don't fear death more than, say, sharing a room in a detox center with a sobbing Rush Limbaugh." Berkeley Breathed
"The more I study religions, the more I am convinced that man never worshiped anything but himself." Sir Richard Burton
"Of religion I know nothing -- at least, in its favor." Lord Byron
"Atheism is a non-prophet organization." George Carlin
"I don't believe in God but I'm very interested in her." Arthur C. Clarke
"Some of you say religion makes people happy. So does laughing gas. So does whiskey." Clarence Darrow
"I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world." Richard Dawkins
"Nothing exists except atoms and empty space; everything else is opinion." Democritus
"I prayed for freedom for twenty years, but received no answer until I prayed with my legs." Frederick Douglass
"Assure a man that he has a soul and then frighten him with old wives' tales as to what is to become of him afterward, and you have hooked a fish, a mental slave." Theodore Dreiser
"Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind." Ralph Waldo Emerson
"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

Summary of The Quotable Atheist: Ammunition for Non-Believers, Political Junkies, Gadflies, and Those Generally Hell-Bound
Surprisingly, no book of quotations on God and religion by atheists and agnostics exists. Luckily, for the millions of American nonbelievers who have quietly stewed for years as the religious right made gains in politics and culture, the wait is over. Bestselling author Jack Huberman's zeitgeist sense has honed into the backlash building against religious fundamentalism and collected a veritable treasure trove of quotes by philosophers, scientists, poets, writers, artists, entertainers, and political figures. His colorful cast of atheists includes Karen Armstrong, Lance Armstrong, Jules Feiffer, Federico Fellini, H. L. Mencken, Ian McKellen, Isaac Singer, Jonathan Swift, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Virginia Woolf and the Marquis de Sade.
