धर्मों का अवतरण नहीं होता: वे विकसित होते हैं। यदि कोई धर्म ईश्वर द्वारा प्रकट किया गया होता, तो वह हर तरह से पूर्ण होता, और उसकी उत्पत्ति के पहले दिन से लेकर दस हजार साल के अभ्यास के बाद तक उतना ही पूर्ण रहता। ऐसा एक भी धर्म नहीं है जो इन शर्तों पर खरा उतरता हो।
Religions are not revealed: they are evolved. If a religion were revealed by God, that religion would be perfect in whole and in part, and would be as perfect at the first moment of its revelation as after ten thousand years of practice. There has never been a religion which fulfills those conditions.

मैं इस बात पर विश्वास नहीं कर सकता कि कोई भी धर्म ईश्वर द्वारा मनुष्य को प्रकट किया गया है। क्योंकि यदि कोई धर्म प्रकट किया गया होता तो वह पूर्ण होता, लेकिन कोई भी ज्ञात धर्म पूर्ण नहीं है; और क्योंकि इतिहास और विज्ञान हमें यह दिखाते हैं कि जाने-माने धर्म किसी दिव्य संदेश से नहीं बने, बल्कि अन्य परंपराओं से धीरे-धीरे विकसित हुए हैं।
I cannot believe that any religion has been revealed to Man by God. Because a revealed religion would be perfect but no known religion is perfect; and because history and science show us that known religions have not been revealed but have been evolved from other traditions.
