Nothing has done more to separate and divide human beings one from another than exclusivist organized religion.

Our whole social environment seems to us to be filled with forces which really exist only in our own minds.

We are not a monolithic group of individuals, not every single person believes the exact same thing.

The modern period adds social ethics to religions agenda, for we now realize that social structures are not like laws of nature. They are human creations, so we are responsible for them.

I think there is a tendency for people to get rigid and caught up in their beliefs of what is right and wrong, and they lose sight of humanity. Being human has to come first before right or wrong.

Minds do not act together in public; they simply stick together; and when their private activities are resumed, they fly apart again.

Maybe we ought to have a world in which things are divided between people kind of fairly.

I see no way out of the problems that organized religion and tribalism create other than humans just becoming more honest and fully aware of themselves.
