Quote #3 on Religious Struggle Quotes >> Religious Powers and Ignorance
“Under their [religious] teachings men waste and misdirect their energies, abandon the ends that can be accomplished, dedicate their lives to the impossible, worship the unknown, pray to the inconceivable, and become the trembling slaves of a monstrous myth born of ignorance and fashioned by the trembling hands of fear.”
Source: "The Truth," by Robert Green Ingersoll, 1877, Bank of Wisdom.
