[Serious] Over the top

[Athene]

For religious view to be able to inform who a person is, that person must be very little and has scant hope of ever being much more.

Does anybody here really believe this? 

If the statement were tweaked to say "to be able to inform ALL that a person is", they yes, I would be inclined to agree.
In my view, empty vessels are indeed lacking in wisdom and/or morality. If one relies solely on religion to inform their every move and judgment, I would say that it's fair to assume there probably wasn't much to them to start with. 

Though the same could same said in regards to virtually any other ideology, tbh.


In taking the quote as written, I don't find it to be any more over-the-top than folks wholeheartedly accepting and asserting that oh, say....ALL people (including all Christians and even young children) are "bad", i.e., in a constant state of SIN by merely breathing and existing. 
Quite frankly though, neither statement is capable of making me clutch my pearls. 

Honestly, I find your response to the quote more over-the-top than the quote itself. 

I could be wrong, but I'm detecting a whiff of selective outrage.
