We are afraid of religion because it interprets rather than just observes. Religion does not confirm that there are hungry people in the world; it interprets the hungry to be our brethren whom we allow to starve.

When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist.
