Couple decent quotes I found.

President George Washington - "The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion." (Treaty Of Tripoli, 1796)

President Thomas Jefferson - "Religions are all alike – founded upon fables and mythologies."

President Thomas Jefferson - "I do not find in orthodox Christianity one redeeming feature."

President Thomas Jefferson - "Christianity is the most perverted system that ever shone on man."

Abraham Lincoln - "The Bible is not my book nor Christianity my profession."

President James Madison - "In no instance have . . . the churches been guardians of the liberties of the people. Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind and unfits it for every noble enterprise."

President William Howard Taft - "I do not believe in the divinity of Christ and there are many other of the postulates of the orthodox creed to which I cannot subscribe."

Aristotle - "Men create gods after their own image, not only with regard to their form but with regard to their mode of life."

Thomas Edison - American inventor: "Religion is all bunk. I have never seen the slightest scientific proof of the religious ideas of heaven and hell, of future life for individuals, or of a personal God."

Albert Einstein - "I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly."

Benjamin Franklin - "I have found Christian dogma unintelligible."

Sigmund Freud - "Religion is comparable to a childhood neurosis."

Ernest Hemingway - "All thinking men are atheists."

Mark Twain - "I cannot see how a man of any large degree of humorous perception can ever be religious -- unless he purposely shut the eyes of his mind & keep them shut by force."

Napoleon Bonaparte - "Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet."

Magellan - "The church says the earth is flat, but I know that it is round, for I have seen the shadow on the moon, and I have more faith in a shadow than in the church."

Jesse Ventura - wrestler/governor: "Organized religion is a sham and a crutch for weak-minded people who need strength in numbers."
