Francis Bacon
"I had rather believe all the fables in the Legend, and the Talmud, and the Alcoran, than that this universal frame is without a mind. And therefore, God never wrought miracle, to convince atheism, because his ordinary works convince it. It is true, that a little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism; but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion."
[Of Atheism]
Francis Bacon
"A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion."
[Essays, Of Atheism]
Edmund Burke
"Man is by his constitution a religious animal; atheism is against not only our reason, but our instincts."
[Reflections on the Revolution in France]
Ludwig Feuerbach
"Whenever morality is based on theology, whenever right is made dependent on divine authority, the most immoral, unjust, infamous things can be justified and established."
[The Essence of Christianity]
