Abhijit Naskar
“When enough people possess the same belief, that belief automatically turns into an irrefutable truth in the eyes of the people, even if that belief happens to be the most atrocious lie of all times.”
Abhijit Naskar, Every Generation Needs Caretakers: The Gospel of Patriotism

James A. Haught
“A grim pattern is visible in history: When religion is the ruling force in a society, it produces horror. The stronger the supernatural beliefs, the worse the inhumanity. A culture dominated by intense faith invariably is cruel to people who don't share the faith--and sometimes to many who do.”
James A. Haught, Holy Horrors: An Illustrated History of Religious Murder and Madness
