My Religion Consists Of A Humble Admiration Of The

What I see in Nature is a magnificent structure that we can comprehend only very imperfectly, and that must fill a thinking person with a feeling of humility. This is a genuinely religious feeling that has nothing to do with mysticism.

I don't try to imagine a personal God; it suffices to stand in awe at the structure of the world, insofar as it allows our inadequate senses to appreciate it.

I am a deeply religious nonbeliever. This is a somewhat new kind of religion.

I cannot believe in a God who wants to be praised all the time.

When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion.

When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than any talent for abstract, positive thinking.
