It seems to me that our choice is this:
1. We can set aside our critical faculties and believe in one or another of the strange and twisted fairytales that religionists subscribe to. By doing so, we enslave ourselves to phantoms, debase ourselves before our own delusions, willingly give up our autonomy of thought and judgement.
or
2. We can look at the world rationally, and live and think as free people.

He who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.
