“The angel, a transcendent being, has become powerless, unable to carry out God’s will, or to help those who believe in its existence.” — Sun Yuan and Peng Yu

The only angels we need invoke are those of our better nature: reason, honesty, and love. The only demons we must fear are those that lurk inside every human mind: ignorance, hatred, greed, and faith, which is surely the devil’s masterpiece.
— Sam Harris, The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason
