Bertrand Russell on Irreligiousness
← Back to Bertrand Russell Profile
“I am as firmly convinced that religions do harm as I am that they are untrue.”
“I do not think that the real reason why people accept religion is anything to do with argumentation. They accept religion on emotional grounds. One is often told that it is a very wrong thing to attack religion, because religion makes men virtuous. So I am told; I have not noticed it.”
