“Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.” — Steven Weinberg What are your thoughts on this quote? |

My thought is it comes from a Physicist. A physicist is a scientist who studies or practices physics. Its two different beliefs. I look at who it comes from.

I believe the evidence bears out the quotation to be fairly accurate.

What are your thoughts on this quote? Well, that's certainly true of what the Mediterranean picture of religion tries to do. All they do is try to make innocent people feel guilty. It's truly disgusting.

I found the documentary that the quote is in.
Richard Dawkins quotes Weinberg in his BBC Documentary "Root of All Evil?" pt. 2. |
