“It seems to me that the idea of a personal God is an anthropological concept which I cannot take seriously. I also cannot imagine some will or goal outside the human sphere... Science has been charged with undermining morality, but the charge is unjust.

Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.”
