This quote:
"Give a man a fish, and you'll feed him for a day; give him a religion, and he'll starve to death while praying for a fish."
I don't agree with. Many religions teach that being lazy is a sin. For example, one of the seven deadly sins is sloth. Although not many people many seem to be paying attention to the seven deadly sins, sure enough, it isn't religion's fault why people are like that...or is it?

If a religion is given as cultural, yes. However, no religion, at its roots, teaches that. Its just htat its open to interpretation, wise or not......

Religion is like fire. Give a man a fire, and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life...
