“The greatest threat to religion in any society is not persecution, but rather apathy born of irrelevance.”

“Voter apathy was, and will remain the greatest threat to democracy.”

“Persecution is not an original feature in any religion; but it is always the strongly marked feature of all religions established by law.”

“Apathy is the greatest evil.”

“The greatest danger to our future is apathy.”

“It is customary to blame secular science and anti-religious philosophy for the eclipse of religion in modern society. It would be more honest to blame religion for its own defeats. Religion declined not because it was refuted, but because it became irrelevant, dull, oppressive, insipid. When faith is completely replaced by creed, worship by discipline, love by habit; when the crisis of today is ignored because of the splendor of the past; when faith becomes an heirloom rather than a living fountain; when religion speaks only in the name of authority rather than with the voice of compassion--its message becomes meaningless.”
