Thomas Jefferson:
To talk of immaterial existences is to talk of nothings. To say that the
human soul, angels, God, are immaterial, is to say they are nothings, or
that there is no God, no angels, no soul. I cannot reason otherwise...
without plunging into the fathomless abyss of dreams and phantasms. I am
satisfied, and sufficiently occupied with the things which are, without
tormenting or troubling myself about those which may indeed be, but of which
I have no evidence.

Albert Einstein: " it was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious
convictions, a lie which has been systematically repeated. I do not believe
in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it
clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the
unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science
can reveal it."
Albert Einstein: "the idea of a personal God is quite alien to me and seems
even naïve."

So sure of themselves with their flat reasoning.
Actually one strange aspect of flat reasoning is
that it promotes self-righteousness.
