I love the varied selection of people! I've never heard that Rachel Maddow is atheist, but the quote suggests that she is at least sympathetic to those without religion.
Sorry, my error ... I assumed she was atheist based on where I found the quotes.
I read that she strongly believes in freedom of religion, and in separation of church and state.
In a New Yorker interview she said, βI grew up in a believing Catholic home and that has stuck with me,β she told me. βI believe in God, and I probably consider myself Catholic. And I think that in the most basic sense we have to account for our lives once they are done. I donβt have a cartoonistβs picture of Heaven that governs my actions, but I do think you have to make a case for yourself.β

Refreshing to hear how public people think of atheism.
Thanks for sharing these quotes.
You're very welcome!
Nice to read such intelligent observations.
Thanks, Marje. It's fun to receive comments.
I very much believe religion is a disease of division and guilt that undermines our lives and society. It undermines our very humanity.
I agree ... it debases our humanity.
follows the best and worse of human nature with its contradictions.
Chump should read the Ataturk quote. These are all great
President of Turkey, ErdoΔan, should read it too!
I feel much empathy for Turkey's non-religious people.
Yes..its unfortunate that the secular parliamentary republic which he founded after WW1 has been reversed again, by Erdogan who took back powers from Parliament in 2017 and turned it in to a presidential dictatorship based on Islam and his ideology.
I would want to thrive on the Inuit's economy.
He's so one with nature, the idea of God would be very foreign to him, I imagine.
Probably would worry him too.
I don't think he'd want his kids to know about the strange God.
Nice collection. Ricky Gervais sums it up nicely.
I enjoyed the sarcasm of that one too.
