Do you equate being serious with moaning?
Is a serious person by definition a moaner?

Consider the observations by the extremely serious people below

The fact that it denounces religion is incidental - but pleases me,
nonetheless.

God is Dead; but given the way of men, there may still be caves for thousands of years in which his shadow will be shown. And we - we still have to vanquish his shadow, too (Friedrich Nietzsche)

It is possible that mankind is on the threshold of a golden age; but, if so, it will be necessary first to slay the dragon that guards the door, and this dragon is religion (Berrand Russell)

Fear is the parent of cruelty, and therefore it is no wonder if cruelty and religion go hand in hand. (Bertrand Russell)

Metaphysics (i.e. religion) is a deep, dark ocean without shores or lighthouse, strewn with many a philosophic wreck. (Immanuel Kant)

Religions are like glow-worms: they need darkness in order to shine. A certain degree of general ignorance is the condition for the existence of any religion
(Arthur Schopenhauer)
