“Religion comes from the period of human prehistory where nobody … had the smallest idea what was going on. It comes from the bawling and fearful infancy of our species, and is a babyish attempt to meet our inescapable demand for knowledge … Today the least educated of my children knows much more about the natural order than any of the founders of religion, … [and] that this is why they seem so uninterested in sending fellow humans to hell.”
― Christopher Hitchens, God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything
