Man Is Only Truly Free Only Among

All Religions, With Their Gods, Their Demigods, And Their Prophets, Their Messiahs And Their Saints, Were Created By The Credulous Fancy Of Men Who Had Not Attained The Full Development And Full Possession Of Their Faculties.

Even The Most Wretched Individual Of Our Present Society Could Not Exist And Develop Without The Cumulative Social Efforts Of Countless Generations.

All Religions Are Cruel, All Founded On Blood; For All Rest Principally On The Idea Of Sacrifice - That Is, On The Perpetual Immolation Of Humanity To The Insatiable Vengeance Of Divinity.

To My Utter Despair I Have Discovered, And Discover Every Day Anew, That There Is In The Masses No Revolutionary Idea Or Hope Or Passion.

But I Recognize No Infallible Authority, Even In Special Questions; Consequently, Whatever Respect I May Have For The Honesty And The Sincerity Of Such Or Such An Individual, I Have No Absolute Faith In Any Person.
