That's a naieve statement coming from anyone who grew up within the peaceful, afflulent western world... it's the blatherings of a somewhat lazy intellect seeking to shock. But it only comes across as sophomoric, really. (sorry Copesters)
I'm not for organized religion, but I fathom that it was an effective means of achieving law and some kind of coherent social identity at one time in human history (and of course it still does, and of course it also leads to war and social DIS-order too...)
I'm not going to get too upset one way or the other about anything that Cope says, unless it becomes clear that he's got some agenda. Hell, I still admit I like THE WORK of many actors and musicians and artists that can get stupid with the best of them.
