   You stupid ignoramus ...   
      
   JOHN ADAMS: "This would be the best of all possible worlds,   
   if there were no religions in it."   
      
      
   JOHN ADAMS: Letters to F.A. Van Der Kamp 1809-1816. "How has it   
   happened that millions of myths, fables, legends and tales have been   
   blended with Jewish and Christian fables and myths and have made them   
   the most bloody religion that has ever existed? Filled with the sordid   
   and detestable purposes of superstition and fraud?"   
      
      
   THOMAS JEFFERSON: Notes on Religion, passed in the Assembly of   
   Virginia, in the Year, 1786. "Millions of innocent men, women and   
   children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt,   
   tortured, fined, and imprisoned. What has been the effect of this   
   coercion? To make one-half the world fools and the other half   
   hypocrites. To support roguery and error all over the earth."   
      
      
   THOMAS JEFFERSON: Letter to Thomas Whittemore, June 5, 1822:   
   "Christian creeds and doctrines, the clergy's own fatal inventions,   
   through all the ages has made of Christendom a slaughterhouse,   
   and divided it into sects of inextinguishable hatred for one another."   
      
      
   THOMAS JEFFERSON: "We discover in the gospels a groundwork of   
   vulgar ignorance, of things impossible, of superstition, fanaticism and   
   fabrication."   
      
      
   JAMES MADISON: "The purpose of separation of church and state is to keep   
   forever from these shores the ceaseless strife that has soaked the soil   
   of Europe with blood for centuries."   
      
      
   JAMES MADISON: "Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind   
   and unfits it for every noble enterprise."   
      
      
   GEORGE WASHINGTON: Treaty of Tripoli 1796: The government of the United   
   States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.   
      
      
   BENJAMIN FRANKLIN: "The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason."   
      
      
   Ethan Allen: "That Jesus Christ was not God is evidence from his own words."
