“History has the relation to truth that theology has to religion — ie., none to speak of”
“No religion except ours has taught that man is born in sin; none of the philosophical sects has admitted it; none therefore has spoken the truth”
“The clash between science and religion has not shown that religion is false and science is true. It has shown that all systems of definition are relative to various purposes, and that none of them actually “grasp” reality.”
“The history of mankind will probably show that no people has ever risen above its religion, and man’s spiritual history will positively demonstrate that no religion has ever been greater than its idea of God.”
“To speak of it would be giving importance to something that has none.”
“Truth, in matters of religion, is simply the opinion that has survived.”
