"I reasoned that God, while improbable, might exist, in which case he should be worshiped; whereas Humanity, being a mere biological idea signifying nothing more than an animal species we belong to, was no more deserving of worship than any other animal species. The cult of Humanity, with its rights of Freedom and Equality, always struck me as a revival of those ancient cults in which gods were like animals or had animal heads."(Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet)
