Bertrand Russell Quotes

What Really Moves People To Believe In God Is Not Any Intellectual Argument At All. Most People Believe In God Because They Have Been Taught From Early Infancy To Do It, And That Is The Main Reason.
Then I Think That The Next Most Powerful Reason Is The Wish For Safety, A Sort Of Feeling That There Is A Big Brother Who Will Look After You. That Plays A Very Profound Part In Influencing People's Desire For A Belief In God.
