“Faith” is a fine invention
For Gentlemen who see!
But Microscopes are prudent
In an emergency! – Emily Dickinson

Not one of Emily’s better efforts. Nor overly clear for the purposes of this campaign.

Personally, I prefer the statements that actually imply an argument against theism, like Dawkins’, and don’t simply rely on coming from an Admired Famous Person. Who the heck is Butterfly McQueen, and how does her fame in whatever field she’s famous for lend credibility to her views on religion?

That is the complete poem by Dickinson. I don’t really see the need for additional punctuation. It is not an excerpt or a quotation.

@CatBallou:
The only situation I can think of in which you wouldn’t use quotes would be if it were being cited in a paper and it were longer than four lines. This fits neither of those.

In fact, my English teacher uses quotes on poetry longer than four lines quite often.

I think Jabba the Hutt is a far more unpleasant character than God.

It’s because I is fat isn’t it.

Fat and ugly people are not necessarily bad.
