I don't know if God would agree with me, but believing in God is kind of unimportant when compared to believing in yourself. Because if you go with the idea that God gave you a mind and an ability to judge things, then he would want you to believe in yourself and not worry about believing in him. By believing in yourself you will come to the conclusion that will point to something.

Billy Corgan

Basic atheism is not a belief. It is the lack of belief. There is a difference between believing there is no god and not believing there is a god - both are atheistic, though popular usage has ignored the latter.

Dan Barker

Worry is not believing God will get it right, and bitterness is believing God got it wrong.

Timothy Keller

Simply believing in the existence of God is not exactly what I would call a commitment. After all, even the devil believes that God exists. Believing has to change the way we live.

Mother Angelica

There is a significant difference between having no belief in a God and believing there is no God.

Michael Shermer

In what way can a man believing in God cease believing due to his personal vanity? There are only two ways. The man should either begin to think himself a rival of God, or he may begin to believe himself to be God.

Bhagat Singh

And when I saw him[my father] lying dead in a pool of his own blood, I knew then that I hadn't stopped believing in God. I'd just stopped believing God cared. There might be a God, Clary, and there might be not. Either way, we're on our own.

Cassandra Clare

The assurance of the believer is not that God will save him even if he stops believing, but that God will keep him believing--God will sustain you in faith, he will make your hope firm and stable to the end. He will cause you to persevere.

John Piper

Perhaps believing in good design is like believing in God, it makes you an optimist.

Terence

Just as many who were brought up to think of God as a bearded old gentleman sitting on a cloud decided that when they stopped believing in such a being they had therefore stopped believing in God, so many who were taught to think of hell as a literal underground location full of worms and fire...decided that when they stopped believing in that, so they stopped believing in hell. The first group decided that because they couldn't believe in childish images of God, they must be atheists. The second decided that because they couldn't believe in childish images of hell, they must be universalists.

N. T. Wright

I've never been insulted by hateful satanists for not believing in their devil. Only by loving Christians for not believing in their God.

Ricky Gervais

Believing in books is a lot like believing in God.

Julie Schumacher

At its root, this is what faith is. It is not believing in God. It's believing God.

R. C. Sproul

Believing in evolution is believing in the unproved, while believing in Christ is believing in the proven.

Edwin Louis Cole

God is a feeling experience and not a believing experience. If your religion is a believing experience ... then that's not truly God.

Oprah Winfrey

For we are not saved by believing in our own salvation, nor by believing anything whatsoever about ourselves. We are saved by what we believe about the Son of God and His righteousness. The gospel believed saves; not the believing in our own faith.

Horatius Bonar
