I would say that men – for example in communism – have a religion, because they believe in science. They believe unconditionally in modern science. And this unconditional belief in science, that means the confidence in the certainty of the results of science is a belief, and in a certain way – something that exceeds [transcends] the existence of a single person, and is therefore a religion. And I would say: no man is without a religion and every man is in a certain manner transcending himself and that means ver-rueckt ["transcendent"].

Maybe we should re-think this 'not a religion' thing anyway.
As a religion we can:
Not pay taxes
Pretend to be 'called by god' to do politics
Parade around in silly hats and robes
Build auditoriums with pretty glass windows
Do a few good things to buy off our conscience and pretend to be superior for it
Wear magic underwear
And that doesn't even include any of the kinky sexual practices...

Thanks for the quote, it seems like Heidegger and I are on the same page. Puts me in good company I think.
