"Whatever else may be wrong with our world, it remains a fact that some
of the most terrifying instances of human conflict and stupidity would
be unthinkable without religion. And the other ideologies that inspire
people to behave like monsters—Stalinism, fascism, etc.—are dangerous
precisely because they so resemble religions. Sacrifice for the
Dear Leader, however secular, is an act of cultic conformity and
worship. Whenever human obsession is channeled in these ways, we can see
the ancient framework upon which every religion was built. In our
ignorance, fear, and craving for order, we created the gods. And
ignorance, fear, and craving keep them with us."
Yes, we must destroy al Qaeda. But humanity has a larger project—to become sane.
