If a humanist or an atheist or an agnostic says, "We'll bake you a pie," we can go right into the kitchen and bake it, and you can eat it an hour later. We don't promise you a pie in the sky by and by. It's charlatanry to promise people something that no one can be sure will ever be… — Madalyn Murray O'Hair Copy Share

My son Bill, who came to me in 1960-he was 14 then, quoted the old parable to me: "It is not by their words, but by their deeds that ye shall know them" -pointing out that if I was a true atheist, I would not permit the public schools of America to force him to read the Bible and say… — Madalyn Murray O'Hair Copy Share

My life and the life of my family has been completely disrupted in absolutely every way by starting the school-prayer case. But it's been worth it.
