According to Communist theory, matter, not mind or spirit, speaks the last word in the universe. Such a philosophy is avowedly secularistic and atheistic. Under it, God is merely a figment of the imagination, religion is a product of fear and ignorance, and the church is an invention of the rulers to control the masses.

O mighty and once living instrument of formative nature. Incapable of availing thyself of thy vast strength thou hast to abandon a life of stillness and to obey the law which God and time gave to procreative nature.

I'm not into organized religion. I'm into believing in a higher source of creation, realizing we're all just part of nature.

I do not believe in the God of the theologians; but that there is a Supreme Intelligence I do not doubt.

Men and nature must work hand in hand. The throwing out of balance of the resources of nature throws out of balance also the lives of men.

Man selects only for his own good: Nature only for that of the being which she tends.
