Quote by Arthur C. Clarke
Science can destroy religion by ignoring it as well as by disproving its tenets. No one ever demonstrated, so far as I am aware, the nonexistence of Zeus or Thor, but they have few followers now.
Summary
This quote suggests that science has the ability to undermine and diminish religion both through direct refutation and through the disregard of its principles. It acknowledges that while no one has definitively proven the nonexistence of mythological gods like Zeus or Thor, these beliefs have lost their prevalence and followers. It implies that, similarly, scientific advancements and wide acceptance can erode religious beliefs by challenging their validity and offering alternative explanations for natural phenomena, causing a decline in religious followership.
