Deroe turned to the Triarian representative. "What is religion?" He paused, as if emphasizing what he said. "What exactly do you people mean by religion? Is it actually an ideal based on a moral value? Maybe a collection of numerous beliefs on a single being? Is it the idea of numerous omnipotent, omniscient people influencing a plethora of cultures? Or maybe is it simply many people sharing a common imaginary friend? Is it simply an excuse for a group of people to gain advantage over many? We , the Kaiyouan civilization, have never experienced the concept of theology for millennia. It has long been disappeared from our minds, and the only reason why that word exists in our dictionaries is to see how our forefathers did in their age." He turned to the Supreme Admiral, who began to be nervous.
