"Faith stands directly in the way of our efforts to make the most of this life."

I found this quote about faith in an Amazon customer review of Faith Versus Fact: Why Science and Religion Are Incompatible by Jerry A. Coyne

Faith is not "another way of knowing". It is a lazy way to give up on the sometimes arduous task of knowing as much as possible about the universe in which we briefly exist. Faith stands directly in the way of our efforts to make the most of this life.
