You gotta love Samuel Clemens.

And what happens when that knowledge is attained by the very people who are supposed to preach religion to the masses?

Courtesy of Alternet:

What happens when a clergy person -- a minister, a priest, a rabbi, an imam -- realizes he doesn't believe in God? 

And what happens when he says it out loud? What happens when they find each other; when they support each other in coping with their crises, when they help each other with resources and job counseling and other practical assistance? What happens when they encourage each other to come out? 

Could this affect more than just these clergy people and their followers? Could it change how society as a whole thinks and feels about religion?

There is strong evidence that we may be entering a new age of enlightenment, which can only bring good things to us.  Well that is unless you believe that without religion, there can be no morality.

And hopefully nobody who visits here is so primitive in their thought process as to subscribe to so antiquated a notion.
