“On the one hand, I am opposed to Richard Dawkins and Co – even those who are not so aggressive, they simply don’t get how religion works, they simply miss their target. On the other hand, I agree that when leftists accept religion, they often do it in this implicitly manipulative, even racist, way: ‘We know there is no God but in places that are a little bit more primitive you need something like religion to mobilise people. It gives people hope,’ whatever. No! I want to take things much more seriously.”
-Slavoj Žižek
