Here are some religious one too. that I like:
This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness. Dalai Lama
You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself. Swami Vivekananda
I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit. Khalil Gibran
Jesus is ideal and wonderful, but you Christians - you are not like him. Mahatma Gandhi
Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich. Napoleon Bonaparte
It is wonderful how much time good people spend fighting the devil. If they would only expend the same amount of energy loving their fellow men, the devil would die in his own tracks of ennui. Helen Keller
My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness. Dalai Lama
Since many of you do not belong to the Catholic Church and others are non-believers, from the bottom of my heart I give this silent blessing to each and every one of you, respecting the conscience of each one of you but knowing that each one of you is a child of God.
Pope Francis
When the missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land. They said 'Let us pray.' We closed our eyes. When we opened them we had the Bible and they had the land. Desmond Tutu

I'll continue to pray that those of you who do not believe today will soften your heart and mind to respond the loving God who longs for you to come to Him!

Thanks very much for your offer of prayer, Graham, but, speaking for myself, I don't need them. Mirza, here is one of my favorite Hitchens videos...relatively short on length, but long on value and truth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HA55jGyq2C8#t=359

I thank you my friend for your prayer. But I do have to say this.If you really want people to pray for you,just tell them you don't believe in god.You are infidel.Thn everybody says they will pray for you, for your soul.Or......they are just going to do nothing, but still feel good about themself Ian, I love listening to Christopher Hitchens, also I read all books by Richard Dawkins.The thing is I like reading religious books too.I want to see and feel and learn from different perspective.I am not afraid to learn from it if I like something even if it came from religious book. Talk about heaven and he'll Go to Heaven for the climate, Hell for the company. Mark Twain

Ian, I love listening to Christopher Hitchens, also I read all books by Richard Dawkins.The thing is I like reading religious books too.I want to see and feel and learn from different perspective.I am not afraid to learn from it if I like something even if it came from religious book.
Talk about heaven and hell
Go to Heaven for the climate, Hell for the company. Mark Twain
Twain was an atheist as well...love his work too...sheer genius. What pisses me off is when religious people preach the utter lunacy of HELL and HELL FIRE to little children...it has to have a serious detrimental effect on them, and I seriously consider it "child abuse" to frighten them with unproven superstition and fairy tales of eternal punishment for "sin". Not to mention all their friends who were of different faiths that were destined for the devil's furnace...what an incredibly sick outlook on life for a kid to start with. Of course, religions always try to "get 'em while they're young"...pretty awful, in my opinion. Child abuse, plain and simple! Ian

My favorite quote about Sunday school:
A Sunday school is a prison in which children do penance for the evil conscience of their parents. H. L. Mencken
