I am fond of saying that reading the Bible turned me into an atheist.

There was a time when religion ruled the world. It is known as the Dark Ages.

Not only is this not love; I think it is the most diabolical unfairness that was ever taught or devised.

I am now convinced that children should not be subjected to the frightfulness of the Christian religion [...]. If the concept of a father who plots to have his own son put to death is presented to children as beautiful and as worthy of society's admiration, what types of human behavior can be presented to them as reprehensible?

Personally, I think the 'Christian family' should be called a Christian fantasy.

The Bible, itself the ultimate curse, is an in-depth profile of the divine spleen.
