1. John Adams, "The Government of the United States is in no sense founded on the Christian religion."

2. Benjamin Franklin, "The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason."

3. Thomas Jefferson, "I have examined all the known superstitions of the world, and I do not find in our particular superstition of Christianity one redeeming feature. They are all alike founded on fables and mythology."

4. Thomas Paine, "All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit."

5. John Adams, "This would be the best of all possible worlds, if there were no religions in it."

6. Thomas Jefferson, "The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter."

7. Thomas Jefferson, “The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.” 

8. Benjamin Franklin, "Lighthouses are more helpful than churches."
