A Humanist's Plea

I don't want your fantasy
or religious sycophantcy
and specially not your 
holy water

give me science, not belief
a computer, not the bible,
black holes and deep human
love for my wife and my kids
and my friends

a beautiful sky and a beach to
walk on, a tale, a poem, 
a mind that is open

This captures a person's free choice when it comes to matters of faith of any religion based on a supposed God as opposed to the reality of science. Emile.
