Quote byAlbert Einstein · 1879–1955
Commonly attributed — not confirmed in an authoritative edition. Cited on Wikiquote to: Religion and Science (1930), Wording in Ideas and Opinions: The man who is thoroughly convinced of the universal operation of the law of causation cannot for a moment entertain the idea of a being who interferes in the course of events — provided, of course, that he takes the hypothesis of causality.
English (original)
Science, in consequence, has been accused of undermining morals—but wrongly. The ethical behavior of man is better based on sympathy, education and social relationships, and requires no support from religion. Man's plight would, indeed, be sad if he had to be kept in order through fear of punishment and hope of rewards after death.
— Albert Einstein
