Can't say I agree with him. Out of practical reasons. If religion were to vanish, other ideologies would fill the void, since all too many people need a crutch to get them through life.
So my opinion is, better the devil you know. As long as said devil keeps it's sticky fingers out of everyone's cookie jar. In short, I'm totally against religion having political influence. If you want to live your life according to some ancient text, be my guest, but don't try to force it down others throats.
