Quote by Baron d'Holbach
English (Source)
Morality is the only cult, the only natural religion of man on earth, the only one that should concern him in this world. Only by fulfilling the requirements of this morality can we consider ourselves to be fulfilling God's will. If indeed God created man in His image and likeness, then He certainly also endowed him with the instinct of preservation and aspiration for happiness. If God created us to be able to think, it means that he wanted us to be able to use this thinking, to distinguish evil from good, useful from harmful. If He created us to be sociable, it means that He wanted us to live in society and tend to its welfare.
