Shelley, Percy Bysshe

The great difference between present-day Christianity and that of which we read in these letters is that to us it is primarily a performance, to them it was a real experience.

Baldwin, James

With two thousand years of Christianity behind him... a man can't see a regiment of soldiers march past without going off the deep end. It starts off far too many ideas in his head.

Celine, Louis-Ferdinand

Any hope that America would finally grow up vanished with the rise of fundamentalist Christianity.
