God Quote 7

many people do not believe in God is not so much that it is intellectually
impossible to believe in God, but because belief in God forces that
thoughtful person to face the fact that he is accountable to such a God.

- Thomas Jefferson
"In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to
liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot.... they have
perverted the purest religion ever preached to man into mystery and
jargon, unintelligible to all mankind, and therefore the safer engine

- Thomas Jefferson

law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between church
and State."
- Thomas Jefferson
