Without the voice of reason, every faith is its own curse."

(History Will Teach Us Nothing)

People are never so completely and enthusiastically evil as when they act out of religious conviction.

Misstraue jedem Politiker, jedem Regierungs- oder Staatschef, der seine Religion zum Instrument macht. Halte Abstand von solchen Politikern, die ihre auf das Jenseits orientierte Religion und ihre diesseitige Politik miteinander vermischen.

Every Christian should be both conservative and radical; conservative in preserving the faith and radical in applying it.

There are few things more dangerous than inbred religious certainty.

For Christian writers, religious faith is not a rebellion against reason, but a revolt against the imprisonment of humanity within the cold walls of a rationalist dogmatism.
