To Be Religious Is Not To Feel,

Nothing We Do, However Virtuous, Can Be Accomplished Alone; Therefore, We Are Saved By Love. No Virtuous Act Is Quite As Virtuous From The Standpoint Of Our Friend Or Foe As It Is From Our Own Standpoint. Therefore We Must Be Saved By The Final Form Of Love, Which Is Forgiveness.

We Misjudge Anybody Who's Different From Us And The Jews Diverge From Our Type, Ethnically And Religiously. That's Their Chief Offense, But There Are Particular Causes.

Rationalism Belongs To The Cool Observer. But Because Of The Stupidity Of The Average Person, They Follow Not Reason, But Faith. This Naïve Faith, Requires Necessary Illusions And Emotionally Potent Oversimplifications, Which Are Provided By The Myth Maker To Keep The Ordinary Person On Course.

My Personal Attitude Toward Atheists Is The Same Attitude That I Have Toward Christians, And Would Be Governed By A Very Orthodox Text: "by Their Fruits Shall Ye Know Them." I Wouldn't Judge A Man By The Presuppositions Of His Life, But Only By The Fruits Of His Life. And The Fruits - The Relevant Fruits - Are, I'd Say, A Sense Of Charity, A Sense Of Proportion, A Sense Of Justice. And Whether The Man Is An Atheist Or A Christian, I Would Judge Him By His Fruits, And I Have Therefore Many Agnostic Friends.
