On Separation of church and state:
“Religious liberty might be supposed to mean that everybody is free to discuss religion. In practice it means that hardly anybody is allowed to mention it.” – Autobiography, 1937
On Government and Religion:
“Once abolish the God, and the government becomes the God.” – Christendom in Dublin, 1933
On History (Maybe applicable to Fundamental Christianity)
“I believe what really happens in history is this: the old man is always wrong; and the young people are always wrong about what is wrong with him. The practical form it takes is this: that, while the old man may stand by some stupid custom, the young man always attacks it with some theory that turns out to be equally stupid.” – ILN 6-3-22
