I belie\u00adve that reli\u00adgi\u00adon, gene\u00adral\u00adly spea\u00adking, has been a cur\u00adse to man\u00adkind - that its modest and great\u00adly ove\u00adresti\u00adma\u00adted ser\u00advices on the ethi\u00adcal side have been more than over\u00adco\u00adme by the dama\u00adge it has done to clear and honest thinking. <\/p>\n
