Word Box
“Religion is primarily a search for security and not a
search for truth. Religion is what we so often use to bank the
fires of our anxiety. That is why religion tends toward becoming
excessive, neurotic, controlling, and even evil. That is why a
religious government is always a cruel government.” – Bishop John
Shelby Spong
