“One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all.”

Arthur C. Clarke

Religion hijacks a lot of things. If it can't stamp something out, it will take credit for it. Something along the lines of "Do unto others as you'd have them do unto you" is older than christianity, despite being  famous Jesus quote.
Poe's Law: "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."
