"I芒鈧劉m the world芒鈧劉s least happy atheist. I miss having religious faith, but trying to have it seems like trying to be in love with someone that you芒鈧劉re not in love with."

"I once wanted to become an atheist, but I gave up - they have no holidays."

"I don't know if God exists, but it would be better for His reputation if He didn't."

"It is the final proof of God's omnipotence that he need not exist in order to save us."

"You've got your phenomenon on one hand. Concrete and knowable. On the other hand you've got the incomprehensible. You call it God, but to me, God or no, it remains just that, the unknowable."

"I always admired atheists. I think it takes a lot of faith."

"If it turns out that there is a God, I don't think that he's evil. But the worst that you can say about him is that basically he's an underachiever."

"I have too much respect for the idea of God to make it responsible for such an absurd world."

"Nobody talks so constantly about God as those who insist that there is no God."

"We are all atheists about most of the gods that societies have ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further."
