I never really had any silly beliefs about religion. None of it really made sense to me, because my parents raised me to realize the importance of the scientific method and never pushed Jesus on me. Religion literally played no role in our lives except for the fact that my parents took me to church every Sunday. It's really weird to think about when I read everyone else's experiences here on this forum.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
