“Are you trying to find out what the IQ of the society you live in is? Don't bother, just look at the results of the elections. If a society makes the right decision in the election, it means its IQ level is high! So, what is the right decision? If the government you have chosen has enriched your nation as a whole without harming other nations, if it has discarded armament and aimed at disarmament, if it has increased freedom, eliminated irrational belief systems and promoted reason and science, then the decision is very correct!”

One copy was reserved for His Imperial Majesty Nicholas II. (The Tsar fairly devoured mystical works, believing that hell could be avoided by a combination of education and deceit.)

“The foundation of irreligious criticism is: Man makes religion, religion does not make man. Religion is, indeed, the self-consciousness and self-esteem of man who has either not yet won through to himself, or has already lost himself again. But man is no abstract being squatting outside the world. Man is the world of man – state, society. This state and this society produce religion, which is an inverted consciousness of the world, because they are an inverted world...”
