Quote #3 on Religious Struggle Quotes >> Atheism and Humanity
“It [Atheism] believes that love of humanity is a higher ideal than a love of God. We cannot help God, but we can help mankind. "Hands that help are better far than lips that pray." Praying to God is humiliating; worshiping God is degrading.”
