"As we so painfully learned in our common history as a race, religion can be a force of great good or tremendous evil. It can spark a scientific revolution or suffocate it. It can influence men to care for strangers or lead them to kill those strangers in its name. Knowing this, we must harvest the inherent good of religion for the benefit of humanity. Religion will not go away and it continues to be a motivating force for us. It is the responsibility of all good men to maintain an open dialogue between the surviving faiths. So we can grow together in peace and focus on our mutual survival amongst God's playground."
