THE HUMANIST’S PRAYER
Lyman Abbot once paraphrased the Lord’s Prayer to reflect the philosophy of those without God. We might call it the Humanist’s Prayer: “Our bretheren who art on earth,
Hallowed be our name. Our kingdom come, our will be done
on earth, for there is no heaven. We must get this day
our daily bread;
we neither forgive nor are forgiven.
We fear not temptation, for we deliver ourselves from evil.
For ours is the kingdom and the power
and there is no glory and no forever.”
