Among all nations, through the darkest polytheism glimmer some faint sparks of monotheism.

The most dangerous madmen are those created by religion, and people whose aim is to disrupt society always know how to make good use of them.

An irreligious man is not one who denies the gods of the majority, but one who applies to the gods the opinions of the majority. For what most men say about the gods are not ideas derived from sensation, but false opinions, according to which the greatest evils come to the wicked, and the greatest blessings come to the good from the gods.

One religion is as true as another.
