"The Bible is not my Book and Christianity is not my religion. I could never give assent to the long complicated statements of Christian dogma."
- Abraham Lincoln

"I am for liberty of conscience in its noblest, broadest, and highest sense. But I cannot give liberty of conscience to the pope and his followers, the papists, so long as they tell me, through all their councils, theologians, and canon laws that their conscience orders them to burn my wife, strangle my children, and cut my throat when they find their opportunity."
- Abraham Lincoln

"My earlier views at the unsoundness of the Christian scheme of salvation and the human origin of the scriptures, have become clearer and stronger with advancing years and I see no reason for thinking I shall ever change them."
- Abraham Lincoln, letter to Judge J.S. Wakefield, after the death of Willie Lincoln

"It will not do to investigate the subject of religion too closely, as it is apt to lead to infidelity."
- Abraham Lincoln

You might want to read some works by the great figures of our nation. Thomas Paine and Benjamin Franklin were both Atheists, and I can provide quotes from them as well, if you'd like.

Thomas Jefferson athiest? That one through me off the most.

*runs to wikipedia...

Thomas Jefferson had some brilliant bits of antitheism he wrote.

I didn't look into this.
They're mostly yanks, so I didn't really give a shit.
I just thought a couple of athiests would get some lols.
Way to dissect the joke.

This one has no bearing on the discussion at hand because of course he wasn't a Catholic.

The will of God prevails. In great contests each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both may be, and one must be, wrong. God cannot be for and against the same thing at the same time. In the present civil war it is quite possible that God's purpose is something different from the purpose of either party -- and yet the human instrumentalities, working just as they do, are of the best adaptation to effect His purpose. I am almost ready to say that this is probably true -- that God wills this contest, and wills that it shall not end yet. By his mere great power, on the minds of the now contestants, He could have either saved or destroyed the Union without a human contest. Yet the contest began. And, having begun He could give the final victory to either side any day. Yet the contest proceeds.[17]

Both [North and South] read the same Bible, and pray to the same God; and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces; but let us judge not that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered; that of neither has been answered fully. The Almighty has His own purposes.

No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy. It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American People. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens.[20]

So basically, I don't think we can really conclude anything here.

Ugh, the things I do sometimes for chick photos. I just started googling Michelle Phillips (the hot chick from the Mamas and Papas), and came across this abomination of a website: http://www.kokane.com/

That has to be the ugliest site I've ever seen in my life.

Hahaha, that is amazing!

EDIT: Also, Buddha was an Atheist. Maybe his picture should be on there.
