All this talk about atheistic materialism and God-fearing American I think is beside the point; it's a rather vapid form of religion.

There has been a religious revival because - let me put it like this, the people that weren't traditionally religious, conventionally religious, had a religion of their own in my youth. These were liberals who believed in the idea of progress or they were Marxists. Both of these secular religions have broken down.

The chief source of man's inhumanity to man seems to be the tribal limits of his sense of obligation to other men.

Ultimately freedom is necessary for a society, because every despotic society - for instance, the Russian society - lives on the basis of a rather implausible dogma - the Marxist dogma of world redemption through Communism.

We Protestants ought to humbly confess that the theater and the sports have done more for race amity, for race understanding than, on the whole, the Protestant Church in certain type, in certain parts of the nation.

Original sin is that thing about man which makes him capable of conceiving of his own perfection and incapable of achieving it.
