* Religions are all alike - founded upon fables and mythologies – Thomas Jefferson

 * During almost fifteen centuries has the legal establishment of Christianity been on trial. What has been its fruits? More or less, in all places, pride and indolence in the clergy; ignorance and servility in the laity; in both, superstition, bigotry, and persecution.”  -  James Madison

 * The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion. – John Adams

* The Bible is not my book nor Christianity my profession. I could never give assent to the long, complicated statements of Christian dogma – Abraham Lincoln

* I have found Christian dogma unintelligible. Early in life, I absenteed myself from Christian assemblies. – Benjamin Franklin

* Religious controversies are always productive of more acrimony and irreconcilable hatreds than those which spring from any other cause. I had hoped that liberal and enlightened thought would have reconciled the Christians so that their religious fights would not endanger the peace of Society. – George Washington

* I hold that in this country there must be complete severance of Church and State; that public moneys shall not be used for the purpose of advancing any particular creed; and therefore that the public schools shall be nonsectarian and no public moneys appropriated for sectarian schools. – Theodore Roosevelt
