Some are atheists only in fair weather. [ Proverb ]

Civil wars of France made a million of atheists, and thirty thousand witches. [ English Proverb, collected by George Herbert ]

The statements of atheists ought to be perfectly clear of doubt. Now it is not perfectly clear that the soul is material. [ Pascal ]

The great atheists are, indeed, the hypocrites, which are ever handling holy things, but without feeling; so as they must need be cauterized in the end. [ Bacon ]

The Greeks adored their gods by the simple compliment of kissing their hands; and the Romans were treated as atheists if they would not perform the same act when they entered a temple. This custom, however, as a religious ceremony declined with paganism, but was continued as a salutation by inferiors to their superiors, or as a token of esteem among friends. [ Disraeli ]
