Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.
-Blaise Pascal
Despite sounding like a Gnu Atheist gigantidick, Blaise Pascal was a 17th Century mathematician and physicist whose name you should curse if you don't like getting injections, as he had a little something to do with the invention of syringes. He's also the guy who came up with Pascal's Triangle, which is apparently important to mathematicians.
The above quote comes from his Pensées, in which he not only defended Christianity, but included his famous Wager.
