Religion is the last refuge of human savagery.

The difference between religion and morality lies simply in the classical division of things into the divine and the human if one only interprets this correctly.

Set religion free and a new humanity will begin.

Religion leaves no room for human complexity.

If I don't talk about my religion if I say I'm not discussing it or different humanitarian things I'm working on they're like 'He's avoiding it.' If I do talk about it it becomes 'Oh he's proselytizing.'

Religion without humanity is very poor human stuff.

There is no higher religion than human service. To work for the common good is the greatest creed.

The biological evolutionary perception of life and of human qualities is radically different from that of traditional religion whether it's Southern Baptist or Islam or any religion that believes in a supernatural supervalance over humanity.

I see no way out of the problems that organized religion and tribalism create other than humans just becoming more honest and fully aware of themselves.

The humanists' replacement for religion: work really hard and somehow you'll either save yourself or you'll be immortal. Of course that's a total joke and our progress is nothing. There may be progress in technology but there's no ethical progress whatsoever.
