Blasphemy is a Victimless Crime. - Richard Dawkins

The attitude that living things are placed here for our benefit still dominates our culture, even where its underpinnings have disappeared. We now need, for purposes of scientific understanding, to find a less human-centered view of the natural world.

There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can't prove that there aren't any, so shouldn't we be agnostic with respect to fairies?

Scientific beliefs are supported by evidence, and they get results. Myths and faiths are not and do not.
