I'd say I'm superstitious, but it's against my religion.

The notion that writings created at a time when men huddled in superstitious terror from an eclipse can possibly be a credible representation of the Creator (whatever that word means to each person) is so absurd as to border on delusional.

Why should I be afraid for, the devil came to me since when I was still a little kid

I say quite deliberately that the Christian religion, as organized in its churches, has been and still is the principal enemy of moral progress in the world

And if there were a God, I think it very unlikely that He would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence

What happened to these young men, it had nothing to do with religion. It was a random thing. They just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time doing the right thing.
