“There is no physical God, but the idea of God exists.”
“I will not propagate my atheism; propaganda for religion is, without doubt, useful.”
“Faith in God is biologically embedded in human beings.”
“No, I do not need it.”
“Fear of death is not biologically embedded.”
“Is high morality possible without God? I answer: ‘Yes!’ But with God it is easier.”
“I do not believe in the reality of immortal souls and their afterlife.”
“Materialism suited me: physiology, psychology, and cybernetics explained the mechanisms of thought and the psyche.”
“I did not feel any need for God either.”
“Commandments, too, were created by people.”
