I too entered the Lager as a nonbeliever, and as a nonbeliever I was liberated and have lived to this day.

Primo Levi

I am a deeply religious nonbeliever - this is a somewhat new kind of religion.

Albert Einstein

Evangelism that starts at the nonbeliever's point of felt need and ties the gospel into that area of need has the greatest capacity for capturing the mind and heart of the non-Christian.

George Barna

I hope that I'm always struggling, really. You develop when you're struggling. When you're struggling, you get stronger.

Andrew Garfield

I am a nonbeliever myself. But I think there's so much about religion that is not factual in nature as to why people engage with it and what it means to them. You can debunk why you think there's no physical evidence for God and why the story of Jesus didn't really happen that way and stuff like that all the live-long day, and it's not going to make a difference to what role religion has in people's lives and how they feel about it and how it makes their lives better or worse.

Adam Conover

I honor the sanctity of all religions - I'm not here to put them down. But the only religion that I personally embrace is the religion of kindness. There are many paths to God. What really bothers me - and what I think is the height of arrogance and stupidity - is when one group believes their way is the only way. That really gets my dander up.

Leslie Jordan

People really, really hate their religion being criticized. It's as though you've said they had an ugly face; they seem to identify personally with it.

Richard Dawkins

I found it personally really difficult to admit to myself that I was struggling sometimes, but once I had the feelings and I knew I could not sit with them any longer, I sought the help I needed.

Karen Bardsley

Atheism is the absence of religion. We don’t really need atheism. We just need to get rid of religion.

Penn Jillette

I honor the sanctity of all religions - I'm not here to put them down. But the only religion that I personally embrace is the religion of kindness.

Leslie Jordan

I'm a strong nonbeliever in the Christmas letter where you don't really read it because it's just full of kind of meaningless information. It doesn't really resonate to the person reading it, but it means so much to the person that wrote it.

B. D. Wong

Terrorists have no religion, belief, or race. Having been a target of a number of terrorist attacks myself, I personally empathize with the victims of terrorism and appreciate their need for protection.

Sheikh Hasina

People struggling with life in a fallen world often want explanations when what they really need is imagination.

Paul David Tripp

People say we need religion when what they really mean is we need police.

H. L. Mencken

I definitely feel that if somebody is struggling with themselves and how they look, they need to really channel the positivity within.

Nia Jax

Like, my feelings on religion are starting to morph. I'm still very much an atheist, except that I don't necessarily see religion as being a bad thing. So, that's a weird thing that I'm struggling with that seems to be offending both atheists and people that are religious.
