I agree with this completely! I shall not “give” my life away – it’s mine, my only chance to be. Was it Sagan who said that we humans constitute the universe’s efforts to understand itself? I’m down with that.
Only religion can make you abandon a worthwhile life in favour of grovelling slavery and tell you that’s a good thing.

“We are a way for the cosmos to know itself” is the quote you’re after.
That’s the one! Thank you. :)
