Shake Off All Blind Faith

There is only one religion, though there are a hundred versions of it.

Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations.
Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.

Shake off all fears of servile prejudices, Question with boldness even the existence of a God, because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blind faith.

But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.
