Asimov was more or less an atheist, of Rabbinical Jewish parentage. But this book has what seem to me to be definitely Christian morals. Perhaps Asimov was a genuine secular humanist (unlike many who assume that title, who might better be called secular inhumanists) and Christianity too is a genuine humanism.
