मानव इतिहास में किसी भी अन्य संस्थागत ताकत की तुलना में धर्म के नाम पर सबसे अधिक युद्ध लड़े गए, सबसे अधिक लोग मारे गए और सबसे अधिक बुराइयां फैलाई गईं। यह दुखद सच्चाई आज भी हमारे दौर में जारी है।

अंधाधुंध आज्ञापालन मुसीबत की एक पक्की निशानी है। जब स्वतंत्र रूप से सोचने की आजादी हो और ईमानदार जिज्ञासा को बढ़ावा दिया जाए, तो धर्म के बुराई में बदलने की संभावना बहुत कम हो जाती है।

जब भी कोई ऐसा व्यक्ति सामने आता है जिसे लगता है कि भगवान उसकी मुट्ठी में हैं, तो समझ लीजिए कि तबाही का खतरा मंडरा रहा है... इतिहास गवाह है कि यह दावा कि 'भगवान हमारे साथ हैं', किसी भी हरकत को सही ठहराने के लिए इस्तेमाल किया जाता रहा है, चाहे वह कितनी भी हिंसक या विनाशकारी क्यों न हो।

Anytime you have anyone who thinks he or she has God in their pocket, you have the potential for disaster, ... Throughout history, the claim that God is on your side has been used to justify any action, no matter how violent or destructive.

सचाई के लिए ऐतिहासिक (या वैज्ञानिक) सटीकता की माँग करना एक अन्य प्रकार की संकीर्ण सोच है। ऐसा करना कविता को गद्य समझ लेना है।
