Politicians historically have tried to use religion, and religionists have tried to use politics. |
Each religion educates its young in a sectarian way, for religionists believe that to learn one specific path is sufficient and necessary. |
The fact is, not only atheists, but even religionists have almost universally accepted socialism and interventionism. |
Today, perhaps more than ever before, religionists feel the tension between institutional faith and civil liberties. |
This is rather too difficult for most religionists, who are convinced of the power of prayer. |
And it is no longer the province of secularists and the left, but is increasingly fanned by religionists and the right. |
