“Religion makes people fly planes into skyscrapers. Religion makes people baptize babies. Religion makes people go door to door to offer little pieces of paper to other people. Religion makes widows be burned alive on the pyre of their deceased husbands. Religion makes other widows mail pitiful little checks to Joel Osteen. Religion makes people build hospitals in the jungles of the Congo. Talking about what ‘religion’ does in the world is like defining ‘medicine’ as ‘pills in bottles.’ I am not sure you should take that. My aunt took a pill from a bottle once and was sick for a week.”
