A quote from the ending of the Bill Maher documentary Religulous:

"The irony of religion is that because of its power to divert man to destructive courses... the world actually could come to an end. The hour is getting very late to indulge in having key decisions made by religious people, by irrationalists, by those who would steer the ship of state not by a compass, but by the equivalent of reading the entrails of a chicken. The plain fact is: religion must die for mankind to live."
