“More than thirty years ago, R. Needham argued against the use of the terms related to "belief" in describing other cultures since they represent an undeclared and misleading generalization about a concept otherwise immaterial to non-Christian cultures. These terms, he argues, are far from representing a universal category or feature of human nature; rather they constitute the idiosyncratic category of the Christian understanding of religion.”
― Manuela Giordano, As Socrates Shows, the Athenians Did Not Believe in Gods

Antonin Scalia
“To invoke alien law when it agrees with one's own thinking, and ignore it otherwise, is not reasoned decisionmaking, but sophistry.”
― Antonin Scalia, The Nine: Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court
