    In the ordinary moral universe, the good will do the best they can, the worst will do the worst they can, but if you want to make good people do wicked things, you’ll need religion.

      Sounds a lot like Steven Weinberg

      With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil - that takes religion.
