Religion is not the product of civilized man. Man inherits his god just as he inherits his physical qualities. The idea of a supernatural being creating and governing this earth is a phantom born in the mind of the savage. If it had not been born in the early stages of man's mental development, it surely would not come into existence now. History proves that as the mind of man expands, it does not discover new gods, but that it discards them. It is not strange, therefore, that there has not been advanced a new major religious belief in the last 1400 years. All modern religious conceptions, no matter how disguised, find their origin in the fear-stricken ignorance of the primitive savage - from The Necessity of Atheism by Dr. D.M. Brooks

No, we beleive in neo-humanism and basic goodness of all humanbeings. Do you know that the Buddhists do not believe in any god? They believe in the theory of "karma" (though that is also not scientifically correct).
