"Religions are maintained by people. People who can't get laid, because sex is the first great earthly pleasure. But if you can't get that, power is a pretty good second one. And that's what religion gives to people. Power. Power is sex for people who can't get or don't want or aren't any good at sex itself." (Bill Maher)
"The world is my country; all of humanity are my brethren; and to do good deeds is my religion." (Thomas Paine)
