Religion can never reform mankind because religion is slavery.

My principal objections to orthodox religion are two - slavery here and hell hereafter

There is no slavery but ignorance.

I will not attack your doctrines nor your creeds if they accord liberty to me. If they hold thought to be dangerous - if they aver that doubt is a crime, then I attack them one and all, because they enslave the minds of men.

I attack the monsters, the phantoms of imagination that have ruled the world. I attack slavery. I ask for room -- room for the human mind.

Civilization has gotten further and further from the so-called 'natural' man, who uses all his faculties: perception, invention, improvisation.
