The chief moral obligation of the 21st Century is to build a green economy that is strong enough to lift people out of poverty.

Religion has gotten a bad rap for good reasons. Often, there are a lot of people - women, LBGT, and others - you know, hierarchical monotheism has been a real source of a type of oppression.
