As quoted in In His Name (2010) by E. Christopher Reyes, p. 39
Context: I condemn false prophets, I condemn the effort to take away the power of rational decision, to drain people of their free will — and a hell of a lot of money in the bargain. Religions vary in their degree of idiocy, but I reject them all. For most people, religion is nothing more than a substitute for a malfunctioning brain.

"Letter to N.N.," quoted by Havelock Ellis in "The New Spirit" http://books.google.com/books?id=xCp6OIGcojMC& (1892) p. 226

“If there is one who’s not free, then I am not free. If there is one who suffers, then I suffer.”
