One of the things that is wrong with religion is that it teaches us to be satisfied with answers which are not really answers at all.

I know that what I see in every religious person is not something I want to teach my kids.

There is all the difference in the world between teaching children about religion and handing them over to be taught by the religious.

Religion is the solid basis of good morals; therefore education should teach the precepts of religion, and the duties of man toward God.

That children shall be compelled to receive religious instruction which is in antagonism to the wishes of their parents, is what no man with say sense of justice would suggest.

The problem is that religion tends to give people bad reasons to be good.

So obviously, any religion embodies some form of rules and expectations for behavior, and even sometimes consequences, and they don't want to hear any of that.

Any simple claim that you need religion to be good is flat wrong.

I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world.

Religion is the impotence of the human mind to deal with occurrences it cannot understand.
