Nearing death the Buddha allegedly said to those around him :

Be a light unto yourself; betake yourselves to no external refuge. Hold fast to the Truth. Look not for refuge to anyone besides yourselves.

I like that...... inasmuch that Truth comes from reason.

Quotes of Note:

"With so many mindbytes to be downloaded, so many mental codons to be replicated, it is no wonder that child brains are gullible, open to almost any suggestion, vulnerable to subversion, easy prey to Moonies, Scientologists and nuns."

Richard Dawkins

"We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart"

H.L. Mencken

"It is the inevitable effect of religion on public policy that makes it a matter of public concern. Advocates of religiosity extol the virtues or moral habits that religion is supposed to instill in us. But we should be equally concerned with the intellectual habits it discourages.
"

Wendy Kaminer

"You're basically killing each other to see who's got the better imaginary friend"

Richard Jeni

"By simple common sense I don't believe in God, in none."

Charlie Chaplin
