"During almost fifteen centuries the legal establishment of Christianity has been upon trial. What has been its fruits? More or less, in all places, pride and indolence in the clergy; ignorance and servility in the laity, in both, superstition, bigotry, and persecution." | Quote by: | James Madison (1751-1836), Father of the Constitution for the USA, 4th US President |
