*Fervid atheism is usually a screen for repressed religion. - [[Wilhelm Stekel]], Autobiography <ref>http://www.notable-quotes.com/a/atheism_quotes.html</ref>
*To be an atheist requires an indefinitely greater measure of faith than to recieve all the great truths which atheism would deny. - [[Joseph Addison]], The Spectator, Mar. 8, 1711 <ref>http://www.notable-quotes.com/a/atheism_quotes.html</ref>
*It is hard to see how a great man can be an atheist. Without the sustaining influence of faith in a divine power we could have little faith in ourselves. We need to feel that behind us is intelligence and love. Doubters do not achieve; skeptics do not contribute; cynics do not create. Faith is the great motive power, and no man realizes his full possibilities unless he has the deep conviction that life is eternally important, and that his work, well done, is a part of an unending plan. - [[Calvin Coolidge]], speech, Jul. 25, 1924 <ref>http://www.notable-quotes.com/a/atheism_quotes.html</ref>
*Among the repulsions of atheism for me has been its drastic un-interestingness as an intellectual position. Where was the ingenuity, the ambiguity, the humanity of saying that the universe just happened to happen and that when we're dead we're dead? - [[John Updike]] <ref>http://www.just-quotes.com/atheism_quotes.html</ref>
*God never wrought miracles to convince atheism, because his ordinary works convince it. - Sir [[Francis Bacon]] <ref>http://www.just-quotes.com/atheism_quotes.html</ref>
