Empty moralism. No thanks. I'll take a relational god over a strictly moral one any day of the week.

Kant and salvation
Kant thus defends a kind of Christianity that is reduced to moral action, telling us that a “moral religion” does not consist in “dogmas and rites,” but rather in “the heart’s disposition to fulfil all human duties as divine commands.” In the end Kant’s version of Christianity is one in which humans must merit salvation through their own efforts.—Evans, A History of Western Philosophy, 440
