“To create [ex nihilo] is a mystical religious expression which can be of value only in the eyes of those persons who are pleased to believe that which they cannot comprehend and on whom faith exerts an imposition conversely proportional to their lack of comprehension. But to any intelligent man, for any observer for whom words have value only in the measure that they represent a reality or a possibility, to create is an expression void of sense.” (Sebastien Faure, Does God Exist?) 
"The world is my country; all of humanity are my brethren; and to do good deeds is my religion." (Thomas Paine)
