God is the immemorial refuge of the incompetent, the helpless, the miserable. They find not only sanctuary in His arms, but also a kind of superiority, soothing to their macerated egos: He will set them above their betters.

he also is quoted:

A church is a place in which gentlemen who have never been to heaven brag about it to persons who will never get there. ~ H.L. Mencken
