Religions are not imaginative, not poetic, not soulful. On the contrary, they are parochial, small-minded, niggardly with the human imagination, precisely where science is generous.

Summary

This quote suggests that religions lack creativity, depth, and the ability to evoke deep emotions. Instead, they are narrow-minded and restrict the scope of the human imagination. In contrast, science is portrayed as expansive, open-minded, and able to foster imaginative thinking. The quote implies that religions limit human potential, while science encourages exploration and intellectual growth.
