I've posted Dawkins' quotes in the past.

Here's one by an even more famous and even more influential darwinian, the eugenicist Julian Huxley.

The probable result will be that in the Socialized State the relation between religion and science will gradually cease to be one of conflict and will become one of cooperation. Science will be called on to advise what expressions of the religious impulse are intellectually permissible and socially desirable, if that impulse is to be properly integrated with other human activities and harnessed to take its share in pulling the chariot of man's destiny along the path of progress.
