Quote #4 on Religious Struggle Quotes >> Religious Powers and Ignorance
“...the man who bows before an idol of wood or stone is just as foolish as the one who prays to an imagined God, -- that all worship has for its foundation the same mistake -- the same ignorance, the same fear -- that it is just as foolish to believe in a personal god as in a personal devil -- just as foolish to believe in great ghosts as little ones.”
