Note of unusual mannerisms
From a religious point of view, Sagan was an [[atheist]] or an [[agnostic]] depending upon how it is interpreted. In practice he was an atheist, but as a scientist could never say with certainty that evidence couldn't arise that is currently unknown that would point toward a god force, he is more correctly described as being agnostic.<ref>http://www.nndb.com/people/324/000022258/</ref><ref>http://www.adherents.com/people/ps/Carl_Sagan.html</ref>

Sagan was also notable for his speech mannerisms, often spoofed and referenced in the media during the height of his popularity - as a celebrity scientist, he was an occasional guest on popular entertainment programs. The phrase "billions of billions of stars" is popularly associated with him, though he never actually used it.<ref>http://www.nytimes.com/learning/general/onthisday/bday/1109.html</ref>
