So far as the religion of the day is concerned, it is a damned fake ... Religion is all bunk.

Religion is all bunk.

I cannot believe in the immortality of the soul. No, all this talk of an existence for us, as individuals, beyond the grave is wrong. It is born of our tenacity of life - our desire to go on living - our dread of coming to an end.

The endeavor to change universal power by selfish supplication I do not believe in.
