The inhabitants of the earth are of two sorts: Those with brains, but no religion, And those with religion, but no brains.
A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism; but depth in philsophy bringeth men's minds about to religion.
Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation; all which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, though religion were not; but superstition dismounts all these, and erecteth an absolute monarchy, in the minds of men.
ATHEISM: A godless religion that retains all the dogmatic posturing of the faiths it so confidently denies, with few of the consolations.
