It ain't that you get religion. Religion gets you and then milks you dry. Won't let you drink a little whiskey. Won't let you make no fat-assed girls grin and giggle. Won't let you do a damn thing except work for what you'll get in the hearafter. I live in the here and now. Dorothy Allison

The idea that religion is something that makes you lazy and keeps you from being able to have fun. The idea that someone would have to be tied down by religion to be able to enjoy their life. Religion is something that takes away your freedom.
