[Religious belief is] outmoded and ridiculous. [Belief in gods was a] worn out but once useful crutch in mankind's journey towards truth. We consider the time has come for that crutch to be abandoned. It is a vacuous answer.. To say that 'God made the world' is simply a more or less sophisticated way of saying that we don't understand how the universe originated. A god, in so far as it is anything, is an admission of ignorance. thundered over the horizon and in a few decades of observation and thought . . arrived at an answer. I regard teaching religion as purveying lies. I came here today to de-corrupt you all. Anonymous
About This Quote

All religions are similar in that they all teach people to trust and obey a higher power and to follow rules and regulations set forth by that higher power. And, although the rules and regulations may be different, people of all religions worship the same god. As a result, many people believe that no one religion is more correct than any other. So, when I say that I consider religion as “purveying lies,” I am saying that I believe no religion is the truth.

In my opinion, there is no truth to be found in any of them, but there is truth to be found in science.
