“We must not enable anyone to impose his personal view regarding religion on others by force, oppression, or pressure.”
Shirin Ebadi
“The more man clings to religion, the more he believes. The more he believes, the less he knows. The less he knows, the more stupid he is. The more stupid, the easier he can be governed! The easier to govern, the better he may be exploited. The more exploited, the poorer he gets. The poorer he gets, the richer and mightier the domineering classes get, the more riches and power they amass, the heavier their yoke upon the neck of the people.”
Johann Most
“Oppression in the name of religion is a time-honored tradition. I'm sorry that people are fearful. Those fears are usually based on ignorance.”
Katy Sorenson
“Women who refer to God as "He" embrace their own oppression.”
Rain Bojangles
“These schools need to learn from history and end religion-based oppression. The Bible has been used for centuries to make an outcast.”
Haven Herrin
“The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people.”
Martin Luther King Jr.
“If a man wishes to rid himself of a feeling of unbearable oppression, he may have to take hashish.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
