“The power of loving a God whom religion paints as the most detestable of beings would, doubtless, be a proof of the most supernatural grace, that is, a grace the most contrary to nature; to love that which we do not know, is, assuredly, sufficiently difficult; to love that which we fear, is still more difficult; but to love that which is exhibited to us in the most repulsive colors, is manifestly impossible.” LoveGodReligionChristianityAtheismBibleSupernatural Book:Letters to Eugenia; Or, a Preservative Against Religious Prejudices Source: Letters to Eugenia; Or, a Preservative Against Religious Prejudices

“Religion has ever filled the mind of man with darkness, and kept him in ignorance of his real duties and true interests. It is only by dispelling the clouds and phantoms of Religion, that we shall discover Truth, Reason, and Morality. Religion diverts us from the causes of evils, and from the remedies which nature prescribes; far from curing, it only aggravates, multiplies, and perpetuates them.” ReasonTruthNatureDarknessAtheismIgnoranceMoralityPhantom Of Religion Author:Paul Henri Thiry d'Holbach
