Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.
The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness.

Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful - Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Religion is comparable to a childhood neurosis - Sigmund Freud

Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die - Joe Louis

How many observe Christ's birthday! How few his precepts! O! 'tis easier to keep holidays than commandments - Benjamin Franklin:
