Paul Dirac on religion

Paul Dirac with a critical take on religion, calling it a collection of baseless assertions and a product of imagination. He noted that primitive peoples personified natural forces out of fear, but modern understanding negates this need. Dirac argued that the concept of God doesn't help and instead fuels unproductive debates about suffering and injustice. He posited that religion is taught to pacify and exploit the lower classes, acting like an opiate that lets a nation ignore wrongs. This, he said, explains the link between the State and the Church, both benefiting from the idea that obedience to injustice is rewarded. For Dirac, declaring God a human invention is the ultimate sin
