The moral systems of religion, I think, are super important.

I agree with people like Richard Dawkins that mankind felt the need for creation myths. Before we really began to understand disease and the weather and things like that, we sought false explanations for them. Now science has filled in some of the realm - not all - that religion used to fill.

Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.

So far as the religion of the day is concerned, it is a damned fake.. Religion is all bunk.

To me religion is a deeply personal thing in which man and God go it alone together, without the witch doctor in the middle. The witch doctor tries to convince us that we have to ask God for help, to spell out to him what we need, even to bribe him with prayer or cash on the line.

I do not think I could myself, be brought to support a man for office, whom I knew to be an open enemy of, and scoffer at, Religion .
