"Fix Reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every
opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if
there be one, he must more approve the homage of reason than of blindfolded
fear. ... Do not be frightened from this inquiry by any fear of its
consequences. If it end in a belief that there is no God, you will find
incitements to virtue in the comfort and pleasantness you feel in its
exercise and in the love of others which it will procure for you"
(Jefferson's Works, Vol. ii., p. 217).

"All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish
appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave
mankind and monopolize power and profit." -Thomas Paine

"I have recently been examining all the known superstitions of the world,
and do not find in our particular superstition [Christianity] one redeeming
feature. They are all alike, founded upon fables and mythologies" Thomas
Jefferson (Letter to Dr. Woods).

Damned Deists! They make to much sense.
