Primitive societies without religion have never been found.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I never found much comfort in overly organized religion of any sort.
Religion without humanity is very poor human stuff.
The Ten Commandments have never been replaced as the moral basis upon which society rests.
Societies are not sustainable without institutions.
The greatest advances of civilization, whether in architecture or painting, in science and literature, in industry or agriculture, have never come from centralized government.
Nobody seriously believes in the social philosophies of the immediate past.
Governments have never learned anything from history, or acted on principles deducted from it.
A religion that takes no account of practical affairs and does not help to solve them is no religion.
Religion leaves no room for human complexity.
There were no temples or shrines among us save those of nature.
