Quote by Ian Mcewan
I don't believe there's any inherent darkness at the center of religion at all. I think religion actually is a morally neutral force.
Summary
This quote suggests that religion in itself is neither inherently dark nor inherently virtuous. It presents the viewpoint that religion is a morally neutral force, meaning that it does not possess a built-in inclination towards good or evil. The interpretation implies that any negative or positive aspects associated with religion come from the actions and choices of individuals who practice it, rather than from an intrinsic quality of religion itself. It acknowledges that religion can be interpreted and employed differently by different individuals, leading to divergent moral outcomes.
