Homer "the atheist" Simpson

[Parsifal]

He is one of us!

Some memorable Homer quotes on religion.

Stealing! How could you? Haven't you learned anything from that guy who gives sermons at church? Captain what's-his-name?

Lisa, if the Bible has taught us nothing else -- and it hasn't -- it's that girls should stick to girl's sports, such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing and such and such.

You know, the one with all the well-meaning rules that don't work in real life -- uh, Christianity.
-- Homer Simpson, telling what religion the family belongs to

You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

No offence Apu, but when they were handing out religions, you musta been out taking a whizz.
-- Homer Simpson, to store proprietor and Hindu, Apu Nahaasapeemapetilon

Marge, it takes two to lie. One to lie and one to listen.

"Phfft! Facts. You can use them to prove anything.

In this house, we obey the laws of thermodynamics!

To alcohol! The cause of -- and solution to -- all of life's problems!

Other characters also speak out on religion, like superintendent Chalmers

“God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion”

And Bart, when he prays:

We paid for all this stuff ourselves -- so thanks for nothing!

Needless to say, Ned Flanders:

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.

(I loved it when he thanks god for the wonderful design of the hideous mutation that crawled out of Lake Springfield in Simpsons, the Movie)

And of course reverend Lovejoy:

Once something's been approved by the government, it's no longer immoral.

Hate to say it but only about half those quotes are about religion. Nice collection though. Got a good laugh. Where are all the "jebus" quotes? Oh or the quotes from the moviewhere they are late to church? Thanks for the post homer is my hero.

The older I get, the more I appreciate Homer.  Let's make this a group effort and add more Simpsons quotes that relate to religion.

Bart: Easy on the zeal Churchos… I've got something to say. Don't you get it? It's all Christianity, people! The little stupid differences are nothing next to the big stupid similarities!

Homer: Suppose we’ve chosen the wrong god. Every time we go to church we’re just making him madder and madder.

Bart: Wow! God is so in your face. Homer: Yea, he’s my favorite fictional character.

Homer: Is it true you priest guys can't ever... you know? Father Sean: I'll admit the vow of celibacy is one of our sterner challenges. Homer: Celibacy I was talking about the meat on Friday thing. Man you guys got more crazy rules than Blockbuster Video.

I thought Matt Groening was an atheist?
