- the origins of humanity,
- rules for living, and
- expressions of faith.

Other notable religions included are Bahá'í, Shinto, Sikhism, Taoism, Native American, and Zoroastrianism.

• “Only crime and the criminal, it is true, confront us with the perplexity of radical evil; but only the hypocrite is really rotten to the core.” ~ Hannna Arendt
• “The first and worst of all frauds is to cheat one's self. All sin is easy after that.” ~ Pearl Bailey
• “Hungry people cannot be good at learning or producing anything, except perhaps violence.” ~ Pearl Bailey

• “Christianity is an idea, and as such is indestructible and immortal, like every idea.” ~ Heinrich Heine
• “No word in our language — not even ‘Socialism’— has been employed more loosely than ‘Mysticism’. … The history of the word begins in close connexion with the Greek mysteries. A mystic is one who has been, or is being, initiated into some esoteric knowledge of Divine things, about which he must keep his mouth shut… ” ~ William R. Inge

• “When facism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.” Sinclair Lewis

• “Better sleep with a sober cannibal than a drunken Christian.” ~ Herman Melville
• “If you want to study the social and political history of modern nations, study hell.” ~ Thomas Merton
• “There is no religion without love, and people may talk as much as they like about their religion, but if it does not teach them to be good and kind to other animals as well as humans, it is all a sham.” ~ Anna Sewell, Black Beauty
• “The equation of religion with belief is rather recent.” ~ Arnold J. Toynbee

Zoroastrianism, an ancient Middle Eastern faith whose first basic belief is there is one universal and transcendental God (named Ahura Mazda), gave shape to the beginning of the Christian era, the Medieval period, and the European Enlightenment.
The prophet Zoroaster wrote the purpose of humankind is active participation in life and the exercise of good thoughts, words and deeds.

Voices of Reason
Quotes and images ~
• “Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?” ~ Douglas Adams
• “The only position that leaves me with no cognitive dissonance is atheism. It is not a creed. Death is certain, replacing both the siren-song of Paradise and the dread of Hell. Life on this earth, with all its mystery and beauty and pain, is then to be lived far more intensely: we stumble and get up, we are sad, confident, insecure, feel loneliness and joy and love. There is nothing more; but I want nothing more.” ~ Ayaan Hirsi Ali
• “I don't have the evidence to prove that God doesn't exist, but I so strongly suspect he doesn't that I don't want to waste my time.” ~ Issac Asimov
• “Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day.” ~ Geroge Carlin
• “I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created the Ichneumonidae with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of caterpillars or that a cat should play with mice... ” ~ Charles Darwin
• “I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied without understanding the world.” ~ Richard Dawkins
• “If only we could transfer all that respect, loyalty and intense devotion from an imaginary being - God - to something real: the wonderful world of goodness we and our ancestors have made, and of which we are now the stewards.” ~ Daniel Dennett
• “I have never seen the slightest scientific proof of the religious ideas of heaven and hell, of future life for individuals, or of a personal God.” ~ Thomas Edison
• “The word god is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish.” ~ Albert Einstein
• “Religion belonged to the infancy of Humanity. Now that humanity had come of age, it should be left behind.” ~ Sigmund Freud
• “I turned to speak to God About the world's despair; But to make bad matters worse I found God wasn't there.” ~ Robert Frost
• “All thinking men are atheists” ~ Ernest Hemingway
• “Since it is obviously inconceivable that all religions can be right, the most reasonable conclusion is that they are all wrong.” ~ Christopher Hitchens
• “We must question the story logic of having an all-knowing all-powerful God, who creates faulty Humans, and then blames them for his own mistakes.” ~ Gene Roddenberry
• “Life is but a momentary glimpse of the wonder of this astonishing universe, and it is sad to see so many dreaming it away on spiritual fantasy.” ~ Carl Sagan
• “The easy confidence with which I know another man's religion is folly teaches me to suspect that my own is also.” ~ Mark Twain
• “With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil—that takes religion.” ~ Steven Weinberg
