"To become a popular religion, it is only necessary for a superstition to enslave a philosophy." ― William Ralph Inge Topic(s): Religion More From William Ralph Inge "The aim of education is the knowledge not of facts but of values." "True faith is belief in the reality of absolute values." "We have enslaved the rest of the animal creation, and have treated our distant cousins in fur and feathers so badly that beyond doubt, if they were able to formulate a religion, they would depict the Devil in human form." More In Religion "But I remember the moment when my father died. I wasn’t a very committed Catholic beforehand, but when that happened it suddenly all felt so obvious: I now believe religion is our attempt to find an explanation, for us to feel more protected."― Javier Bardem "Next to religion, let your care be to promote justice."― Francis Bacon "No religion can long continue to maintain its purity when the church becomes the subservient vassal of the state."― Felix Adler
