Quote #15 on Education Struggle Quotes >> School and Religion
“To succeed, the theologians invade the cradle, the nursery. In the brain of innocence they plant the seeds of superstition. They pollute the minds and imaginations of children. They frighten the happy with threats of pain -- they soothe the wretched with gilded lies.”
Source: "The Truth," by Robert Green Ingersoll, 1877, Bank of Wisdom.
